Indeed, I thought it was such a disappointing movie. First of all, I haven't read the book so I have no clue if it is faithfull or not.

Summer of 1982: 15 Classic Films Turn 30 (15 movies items)

"Release Date: July 23 U.S. Box Office: $29,712,172 2012 Adjusted Gross: $80,040,900 The summer of '82 wasn't just about sci-fi spectacle. This adaptation of John Irving's novel was only Robin Williams' second leading role in a movie, and it showed he had ambitions of being more than just Mork from Ork. His costars John Lithgow and Glenn Close (in her film debut) both received Oscar nominations. "
