Depp puts in a reliable performance as the put-upon son who finds solace in the company of waitress, Juliette Lewis. All three deliver memorable performances along with a strong supporting cast.

The relationship between Gilbert and Arnie has Of Mice and Men vibes, but it strikes a responsive chord in a way that the rest of the film doesn't. Most of the credit for that goes to DiCaprio's performance.

An offbeat, middleweight charmer that is lent a measure of substance by its astute performances and observational insight.
