Movie Reviews of The World According to Garp
Movie Review: IS AMAZON RUNNING SOME KIND OF A CON?
Summary: 1 Stars
This film ORIGINALLY FEATURED Roblin Williams, Mary Beth Hurt, John Lithgow, and Glen Close. The jacket, as shown in Amazon's Advertisement shows Robin Williams, the house Garp and, his wife and sons lived in and the airplane that crashed into their house one of the scenes in the flims. However, only one of the actors in the original DVD film I have is listed in the actor's credits for the film being sold by amazon (Glen Glose).
The original cast did an excellent job with the film, but who the devil are the actors--(Nathon Babcock, Warren Berlinger, and Susan Browning)--listed above the product Amazon is the trying to dump on unsuspecting public. NOTE: Do the original director, producer and actors know what Amazon is doing to their outstanding The World According to Garp in this bogus version.
Summary of The World According to Garp
Comedy and tragedy intermingle in the life of t.S. Garp son of the ultimate feminist. Great performance by john lithgow as a woman who used to be a pro football player. Special features: trailer: cast/director film highlights: subtitles in english french spanish and portuguese. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: Robin Williams Mary Beth Hurt Run time: 136 minutes Rating: R Director: George Roy HillAside from being a warmly enjoyable movie, and the best screen adaptation of any John Irving novel, The World According to Garp features several young actors who went on to be among the best in the business. Oscar nominee John Lithgow is the sweetest transsexual ex-pro football player you'd ever hope to meet; Oscar nominee Glenn Close is a sensible, utterly sexless nurse and mother; Amanda Plummer is a mute crime victim; Mary Beth Hurt is a schoolgirl turned wife and mother, the love of T.S. Garp's life and the personification of the idea of Home. And Robin Williams, in his first starring role, has never been better cast--in the role of a human being, that is. This most unusual life story--written by Steve Tesich (Breaking Away) and directed by George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)--perfectly captures the tragi-comic, absurdist/humanist worldview of Irving's novel. The opening credits, with a wide-eyed baby floating about the screen to the tune of the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four," sums up the movie's scope and tone. After watching The World According to Garp, you may find yourself marveling anew at the world around you, a strange and wonderful place indeed. --Jim Emerson
