Whoa! This is not the movie you dredge up in your mind when you hear the title. There's no giant grape that squashes Cleveland. It's not a cartoon, either.
Go rent this family oriented darn good down to earth movie. You and your family will be better off for it. I really liked the story. I really really liked the realism. The actors didn't seem to be acting. They seemed to be real.
What a whoppin' big performance by the guy who played Gilbert's brother. This was an A+ performance. It's no wonder he got picked for the lead in Titanic...DiCaprio. You and your gang are gonna have an emotional picnic when the story ends. At first, it's the ants. Then at the end, it's a real picnic. Give me some more movies like this one. 8.0 on a scale of 10.

After that review, I am removing this movie from my movie collection and donating it to the public library. It will sit along side Oh Brother, Where art Thou collecting dust and awaiting the next Library Fire Sale where it will not sell.
Tom Hanks made a raft out of old vhs tapes when he was stranded on that desert island. They're really good for that.
I like dissenters, though. Don't see this movie, because you might like it. Then you can dissent about not having the pleasure about seeing it.
Grape is a funny name. I had a grandpa named Gilbert Grippi, so I thought there might be a connection. Then, DiCaprio sounds like an Italian name, too, so there you go. Do they eat spaghetti or calzones in the movie?
No wonder Italy is so screwed up
How could a movie about a picnic be an 8.0? There's never been a good movie with a picnic in it. Those are musicals. Not men type movies.
I'd call up that guy Soprano and have him cool out the whole grape family. Green, purple, red, Muscatine. All of them.
I'd have Soprano cool out that Dago-strotti.
WEGG wins my vote. The big conflagration at the end was cool.
Can you review some more movies with the handicapped guy?
That guy seemed normal compared with Billy Bob Thornton
I'd name it "What's buggin' that wine wannabe?"
or "Fruit, Gil".
or "The Grape Family Vine".
or "Mogen David toot your horn"
Maybe my 8.0 was a little fat. Like Mrs. Grape.
