Garp is a man whose life unfolds from cradle to grave in counterpoint to the dizzy, violent, cruel and casually destructive rhythms of our anxious age. Whilst Garp sees himself as a "serious" writer, his mother Jenny writes a feminist manifesto at an opportune time, and finds herself as a magnet for all manner of distressed women.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

One of my all-time favorite movies! submitted by TeacherN on July 3, 2021, 8:04am I'm always astonished by how few people have seen this film. Glenn Close, John Lithgow, and Robin Williams are absolutely brilliant, and the story is funny, sad, and beautiful. Based on John Irving's novel, it's one of those few movies that is much better than the book.

It has it all submitted by cldaniels on August 2, 2022, 12:38pm This movie is well acted, full of quirky characters and quirky situations, and full of humor and all the emotions of human life.
