About this movie

Oscar-winner and madcap comic genius ROBIN WILLIAMS ("Good Will Hunting," "Patch Adams") stars in this emotionally powerful tragicomedy that follows T.S. Garp -- the most human being you'll ever meet -- a man with a penchant for writing and wrestling, who, surrounded by eccentrics and innumerable absurdities, develops his own way of coping with life and its ironies. Joel Siegel, "Good Morning America," calls this "a wonderfully made film" and The New York Times says "an impressive accomplishment." "One of the year's 10 best" (The L.A. Times). A boxoffice hit featuring an all-star supporting cast, with Oscar nominations for GLENN CLOSE ("The Paper," "Fatal Attraction") and JOHN LITHGOW ("The Pelican Brief," "Cliffhanger"). Based on the best-selling novel by John Irving ("The Hotel New Hampshire"), from famed director George Roy Hill ("The Sting," "Funny Farm"). MPAA Rating: R (c) 1982 Warner Bros.
