High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a 1993 film directed by Lasse Hallstrom and starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio. Peter Hedges wrote the screenplay adapted from his 1991 novel of the same name. It was filmed in the Texas cities of Manor, Elgin, and Lockhart. The film opens in the small fictional town of Endora, Iowa, where Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) is busy caring for Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio), his brother with a developmental disability as they wait for the trailers to come drive through town during their yearly ritual. His mother, Bonnie (Darlene Cates) is morbidly overweight, after years of depression following her husband's suicide years ago. With Bonnie unable to care for the children by herself, Gilbert has taken responsibility for repairing their old farmhouse and looking after Arnie, who has a habit of climbing the town water tower if he is left unsupervised for too long, while his sisters Amy (Laura Harrington) and Ellen (Mary Kate Schellhardt) do the chores and the cooking.
