Its not quite an awful film, it has potential but it just doesn't quite...work for me and usually I like character dramas and I like quite a lot of Robin Williams' films, so it was a little bit of a disappointment. I wouldn't especially recommend it, no.

I really liked the lovely exaggerations and the portrayal of the proto-feminist, plus the obsession with "lust".
Great scores from all the actors,Williams, Close, Lithgow and Hurt too, nice cozy intimacy they make there.

wasn't surprised to find out this is an adaptation, as you can really feel the movie stretching towards the various plot points. tonally it works though, and Williams and Lithgow are great. i wanted to complain about all the gun-related deus ex machinas but then i remembered it's America, heh.

Adapted from the John Irving novel of the same name, this movie also introduces Robin as a dramedy actor. His portrayal as T.S. Garp is truly captivating, effective, and inspiring. As far as the rest of the movie goes, it's an odd, humorous, poignant story that comes with many inspirational quotes and takes on human life. It also contains some very surprising performances (John Lithgow as a transgender, Glenn Close in her first movie).

A very good adaptation of a novel that you would think would be incredibly hard to adapt after reading it. Some of Robin Williams' best work and Lithgow is just great as always. The book is definitely better but it's hard to top anything John Irving does. It's a worthy adaptation in my mind.

The comedic lighthearted tone is sometimes grating, but most of the time it's passable and there are certainly some good moments to be had. The performances are rather solid and even Williams manages to mostly balance the comedy and pathos required. Unfortunately it's not actually that funny and the narrative is a string of disconnected scenes. Perhaps the biggest problem is that it tries so very hard to shed light on the human condition without a single human character in the mix.
