Robin Williams isiGarp. He's gotia funny way of looking at life.
When Robin Williams played T.S. Garp in The World According to Garp, two totally original American icons met: a leading comic actor of our time and the character whose loopy adventures made John Irving's novel a literary milestone and runaway bestseller. Fans of Williams' dramatic work in Dead Poets Society and his Oscar® winner Good Will Hunting will also savor his Garp, a sweet-natured writer whose life is a weird minefield of violence, adultery, fatherhood, rampant feminism and eerie coincidence. Glenn Close (her film debut) as Garp's formidable mother and John Lithgow as a transsexual ex-NFL receiver give impressive support, earning Oscar® nominations and critics laurels galore. Their collaboration is "one helluva magnificent movie" (Bernard Drew, Gannett Newspapers).

world according to a good film - 3.75 out of 5 (4/2/2001)
"The World According To Garp" was a movie that originally outraged fans of
the book by John Irving. They were annoyed that a comic actor like Robin
Williams was chosen to play T.S. Garp, the perpetually depressed character
in the book.
If you look at the book (or the movie for that matter, which was almost
taken word for word) you will see that it was one of the bleakest pieces of
fiction to ever hit the page. Garp was a central character in a maelstrom of
insanity. His humor or lack t
