If you haven't seen this, order it now. If you ever wondered why the likes of Martin Scorsese want to work with Leonardo DiCaprio all the time, the answer is here. He was brilliant as a child actor. This may be Johnny Depp's film, but every actor in this film is wonderful, and DiCaprio absolutely steals the movie. I don't give many movies 4 stars, this one definitely deserved them.....see it.

I thought I'd give this movie a try because I usually enjoy Johnny Depp's movies. I was surprised how enjoyable this movie ended up to be. I had no idea that the character "Arnie" was Leonardo DeCaprio until my son told me! What a fantastic performance by him and the rest of the cast!

I'm a Depp fan and never before gave much thought to DiCaprio. In this film, DiCaprio's portrayal of the mentally retarded Arnie is just about the most believable performance I've ever seen. And Depp has never done, and in fact is probably incapable of doing, anything poorly. My husband didn't care for the movie much (not enough macho action I guess), but my teen son and I thought it was one of the best. This film touches so deeply on family relationship and the love that runs so deep within even disfunctional families. I absolutely loved it!

In my opinion Decaprio's finest work to date. Plus great editing really keeps your interest in the story line. A very good movie.
