The World According to Garp

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago at May 25 9:06

I read the book by John Irving a few times before I was even aware that there was a movie. I love the book, and I have enjoyed the movie each time I have seen it. It is close to the book, which is great---although, I don't like the actress who plays Helen. She isn't how I pictured that character while reading the book.

John Lithgow is good as the transsexual former football player who becomes a good friend to Garp's mother, and then to Garp and his family.

The only thing I don't like about the movie is the way it ends. Although, I don't know how else they could have ended it.

Rating : 8/10
