Advantages: Characters, Story. Disadvantages: A little slow to begin with.
It's quite easy to dismiss What's Eating Gilbert Grape as being another clichéd love story if you choose to judge the film purely for its tagline "a film about the love you find... in the last place you look." If you choose to venture deeper, beyond the fairytale publicity, you will find that this film is actually a lot more realistic than the headlines attempt to make out.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a family story with plenty of surprises, based on the novel by Peter Hedges. Gilbert (Johnny Depp) is in charge of caring for his mentally handicapped brother, Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio), while his sisters cook and clean for their 500-pound Mother (Darlene Cates). After the death of their Father a number of years ago, Gilbert has (reluctantly) been promoted to the male head of the Grape family. He also has to work at a local food store ...
Advantages: Advantage card, lots of branches close by Disadvantages: Some products are a little pricey and some stores too small
Meal Deal only allows you to have pop or water as a drink whereas previously, you could have any practically anything. You can also only have 3 items.
Still, I often buy Meal Deals with the points I have collected on my Advantage Card. I recently bought the large fruit salad as part of a "green" Meal Deal, which costs £2.50 on its own. However, as part of the deal, I got an Innocent Smoothie and a bag of chocolate nuts for just another 25p.
I do have another complaint about the Meal Deal offers. The cheese options only usually have one or 2 sandwiches in whereas the meat and fish options often have 4 sandwiches in a packet. The price is the same but it seems as though the vegetarian options aren't as good value as the other kinds. As a veggie, I would like to see a better range of sandwiches.
Overall, Boots is a good shop ...

Advantages: A Beautiful Moving Film Disadvantages: None
What's Eating Gilbert Grape, is a story of the title character who looks after his mother, brother and two sisters in the home that their father built just before he was 'hung out to dry' 17 years earlier in Endora, Iowa, 'where nothing ever much happens and nothing will.'
Mama (Darlene Cates) used to be the 'prettiest gal in these parts' but is now a 600lb mountain of a woman and who hasn't stepped out of the front door for at least seven years and whose oversized proportions play havoc with the infrastructure of the house they still live in.
Gilbert's (Johnny Depp) younger brother Arnie (Leonardo Di Caprio) is mentally handicapped and was never expected to survive much beyond childhood, and may not much longer. In fact, it could be any day now. As Gilbert sums it up in one line, 'Sometimes you want him to live. And sometimes you ...
