A fast journey through ones life, small to big.. really makes you think how quick life really passes by.. followed with all emotions, mostly laughter.. had me hooked from the start, Robin's films always do, because he's an amazing actor... and sure shows you up in this film. Now just lives on in his films, and memories....

As with us all, our lives incorporate sadness, happiness, joy and tragedy. This film encapsulates the life of Garp and we are taken on an emotional journey which may resonate with us all in theme and scope. Simply wonderful, funny and sad.

I accidentally saw this movie when I was young. [spoiler] The scene with Garp’s wife and her young lover in the car has haunted me for years! [/spoiler]
