The World According to Garp

“Robin Williams is Garp. He's got a funny way of looking at life.”

T.S. Garp (Robin Williams) is a young writer who wants a life of his own, but his mother and his wife keep pulling it in two directions. Jenny Fields (Glenn Close) has written a best-selling manifesto that makes her a radical feminist icon, and Helen (Mary Beth Hurt) is the wife whose unfaithfulness keeps testing him. George Roy Hill puts all of it in one household, where every choice Garp makes risks the family he is trying to hold together.
