It's too specific to be a proper allegory, and too vague to provide a satisfactorily millennial perspective on the last 50 years. Neither is it caustic enough to make one cry, nor soppy enough to make one laugh.

Self-ingratiatingly, and for this viewer maddeningly, it blends the comic with the Christly, the satirical with the sentimental, the free-thinking with the fuddy-duddy.

It remains a bad movie that gets worse with age.

I can't see how people with low I.Q.s or those who love them are in any way comforted by all this hogwash. I can easily see how such people might be offended by its smug unreality.

Contrasting Forrest's unassuming innocence with the upheavals and rancor of the times, the film is a wisely goofy commentary on the stupidity of smartness.

Forrest Gump, the new Tom Hanks movie directed by Robert Zemeckis, is a one-of-a-kind treat.

Sep 09, 2016This movie is about as perfect as you can get. It is fascinating seeing this simple man make his way through some of the more turbulent times in American history. But with how innocent Forrest Gump is, he doesn't feel the gravity of all of the important events he is a part of. Tom Hanks is perfect in the lead role and there is not an actor in a supporting role that I can find fault in their performance. Sally Field, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and on and on and on. The cast was amazing. I never miss a chance to catch this when it is on TV and it continues to be my favorite movie of all time.Patrick W Super Reviewer

Mar 24, 2016Sometimes it's funny, sometime it's sad. It wasn't too much to handle and I had a lot of fun watching this film. However I thought it overstayed its welcome a little bit too much and I think I would cut some scenes out of the movie. It was also more violent than I thought it would be and I couldn't help notice one small scene with nudity in it.Tarin P Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2016Forrest Gump is beautiful, has a lot of heart and is very well acted. This might be Tom Hanks's best performance, he is so convincing with his role and everyone else does a good job as well. Forrest Gump is very sentimental but all in the right ways and is one of my favourite movies of all time!Mr N Super Reviewer

Nov 22, 2015"Forest Gump" is one of my all time favourite drama's. "Forest Gump" has got incredible acting from "Tom Hanks" and "Robin Wright". "Forest Gump" has an amazing/sad plot to it which is "Forest Gump" is not a very intelligent boy, but he has great listening skills. When he is on the bus to his first day at school he meets a girl named "Jenny Curran" who goes on to be his best friend throughout all his schooling years. The special effects in this movie are great, everything that happens looks normal, nothing looks like the back a green screen. "Forest Gump" has got sad music to go with the sad scenes which just makes them better and better. If you haven't seen "Forest Gump" I definitely recommend you watch this classic. I give "Forest Gump" a 9.5/10.Steve G Super Reviewer
Forrest Gump Quotes
| Forrest Gump: | You died on a Saturday mornin'. And I had you placed here under our elm tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doin' just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teachin' him how to play Ping-Pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. |
| Forrest Gump: | I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happenin' at the same time. I miss you Jenny. If there's anything you need. I won't be far away. |
| Forrest Gump: | Life is like a box a chocolate, you never know what your going to get. |
| Forrest Gump: | Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. |
