With Johnny Depp's overlooking narration, we're given the immediate sense of the family-man caretaker that defines his character. This is also the movie that MADE Leonardo DiCaprio, so we have to be thankful for that.

The film is one of the most underrated movies. A great mix of comedy and drama, with funny characters. In my opinion the best acting of DiCaprio, who plays a mentally handicapped boy.
