About this product

Product Information

George Roy Hill's intermittently faithful adaptation of John Irving's best-selling novel lightens the tone of the book's black comedy while retaining at least part of its effect. It stars Robin Williams as T.S. Garp--the fatherless son of well-known eccentric feminist activist Jenny Fields (Glenn Close) who spends much of his life trying to escape the influence of his unusual upbringing and the ever-expanding shadow of his mother's fame. Intent on becoming a writer, living a normal life, and raising a family, Garp marries college sweetheart Helen Holm (Mary Beth Hurt) and starts a family, but he is plagued by the feeling he must wage war against all that is violent in the world that can possibly bring harm to them. When he finally publishes his first book, his mother simultaneously publishes a feminist manifesto that makes her a lightning rod for all manner of victimized women. Among her followers is the transsexual ex-football player Roberta Muldoon (John Lithgow), a model of sanity, who becomes a friend of Garp's and leads him toward a reconciliation with his mother and her cause. The briskly paced film captures much of the spirit of Irving's quirky, neopicaresque novel and is well served by its stellar cast, with exceptional work by Close and Lithgow.

    One of the best stories told on this World.

    We watch Garp grow up. His perspectives are ones with exceptional value. I am a huge fan of John Irving the author. Because I love this movie (and I do not want to take away from it) I will not read this book (the book is typically better than the movie). John Lithgow's character is my second favorite of the movie. The story line does a very good job of moving forward one step at a time.

    Good film, acting from entire cast

    I have always liked the film. NEVER read the book, no interest in it. What makes the film for me is the cast, main cast. Robin showing early in his movie career he could indeed act without his comedy skills. Glenn in her film debut delivers it perfectly as Jenny. Best part by far is John as the ex football player. That part could have gone bad real quick but he did a great job with it. Since this is an old DVD there are NO extras. It is, horrible, a Warner Brothers release so it has 1 of the horrible cardboard holders you can NOT stack. A plus, which seems to be disappearing, a chapter search list. Good to see the film wide screen. And, it does have a good picture quality.

    T. (Terrific) S. (Surprise) Garp

    What a find this movie is! Over the years it has become one of a number of "comfort" movies I own-- those movies I can return to again and again for solace and comfort. "The World According to Garp" can best be described as a "black comedy:" it's a drama that has some funny moments in it, thanks to the maniacally funny Robin Williams. Threaded throughout the otherwise lightly woven movie we find darker threads, threads that threaten to inundate the fabric around them. It's at these intensely bleak moments Williams (as T.S. Garp- T.S. standing for everything from Technical Sergeant to Terribly Shy to Terribly Sexy, depending on which stage of life Garp is in) lightens the whole with his almost incidental comedic genius. John Lithgow provides a memorable performance (in fact, this is ...

    The title is fitting

    This is an unconventional story with truly engaging characters. While time constraints leave a more comprehensive overview of Garp's life and development missing, his upbringing and his mother's rationale for actions in her life reveal his basic value structure. This is only briefly touched upon during a conflict with his publisher on the title and content of his last book. The ending also is for the viewers to decide; whether Garp has perished or lives on for another chapter of his unusual life....

    World According to Garp

    The World According to Garp, aside from being a warmly enjoyable movie, and the best screen adaptation of any John Irving novels. The movie 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.He has never been better cast--in the role of a human being. The opening credits, with a wide-eyed baby floating about the screen to the tune of the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four," sums ...
