The World According to Garp

The "lunacy and sorrow" of John Irving's quirky bestseller gets captured by this brilliant adaptation, anchored by Robin Williams as aspiring novelist T.S. Garp, whose eccentric existence stemmed from the influence of his free-spirited, proto-feminist single mom (Glenn Close). Mary Beth Hurt, John Lithgow, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Swoosie Kurtz co-star under George Roy Hill's direction. 136 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo.
