Summary: ONE OF THE WORST FILMS EVER
Review: THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE WORST FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN.
IT TRIES SO HARD TO DEAL WITH OTHERWISE MEANINGFUL ISSUES.
HOWEVER, IT FAILS ON ALL OF THEM.
OVER RATED ACTOR T.HANKS IS AT HIS USUAL WORST.
AVOID IT!

Summary: A Must Buy for All Who Own A DVD Player
Review: Tom Hanks successfully protrays a borderline-retarted boy growing up in Alabama. This story brings both laughter and tears, and successfully shows the struggle that Forrest has faced throughout his life. This DVD set also contains a second CD in which life through the eyes of Forrest is portaryed, and the actors in the film give comments. This DVD is worth the money!

Summary: One of the best movies in recent years
Review: This is one movie that deserved all the acclaim it got. Forrest Gump is one of the most original ideas for a movie ever created. It follows the unbelievable life of Forrest Gump and the humorous and heartbreaking journeys that he endures in war, love, and life. Hanks is wonderful as the slow, but innocent Forrest and there are so many great and powerful moments in this movie. I think it is so enduring because it is about the human experience, and we, as an audience, feel for Forrest as he must learn life and the problems life presents. It is an experience that we all must go through, and I recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: An instant classic
Review: Forrest is basically a good guy, he just happens to be kinda slow. But that doesn't seem to stop him from meeting Elvis, fighting in Vietnam, Investing an apple and founding a multimillion dollar shrip company. Tom Hanks is brilliant and he plays the part wonderfully. Although some elements of the book that I would have liked to see were not included it still does not take away from a wonderful proformance. This movie will have you laughing and crying at the same time.

Summary: Forrest is Brilliant
Review: I know that some people may say that a movie based on the life of an "idiot" is of little interest to people and does not deserve someone's time. Well, Forrest Gump has done nothing but shut those people up. Tom Hanks stars as a slow-witted Southerner named Forrest Gump. The film shows about 30 years of his life and our nation's life. Forrest always manages to be around when something big is going on in America whether it be Vietnam or the Watergate Scandal. Forrest starts out as child living with his single mother(Sally Field) in the South. Forrest's only friend besides his mother is a young girl named Jenny who turns out to be the love of Forrest's life. Early in life Forrest needs leg braces for his crooked legs which starts up the comedy in the film. He then grows up to play football and turns out to be an All-American. He then joins the army and meets his best friend and shrimp fanatic Bubba. They go to Vietnam together where Forrest is struck with his first of many hard blows. He also meets his future friend Lt. Dan(Gary Sinsie) in Vietnam. While in the war Forrest is shot in the "buttox" and is hospitalized. It is in the hospital that Forrest realizes he is exceptionally skilled in the sport if ping-pong. After the war Forrest joins the national Ping-Pong team. Forrest then buys a shrimping boat and begins working alone. He is later joined by war vet/friend Lt. Dan. The two end up getting rich off of the business. Forrest then returns home where his mother is sick and decides to mow lawns. Jenny later revisits Forrest and the two live together for a while. She later leaves him and this is when Forrest begins his 3-year long jogging spree back and fourth across the country. After his run Forrest gets a letter from Jenny and decides to visit her. He then learns that Jenny has had his son. I won't tell you the rest, you'll just have to buy it and watch it for yourself. Forrest Gump is a heart-moving, and humourous movie that the whole family can watch. I would highly recommend buying the DVD version instead of the VHS version since with the DVD version you get two disks, one containing the movie and the other containing a handful of great extras. Which ever you decide, you will still be buying one of the best films of the 19th century!

Summary: the quintessential American movie
Review: Forrest Gump starts out in the world with than most people -- a below-average IQ, braces on his legs and a broken home -- but achieves more than most people ever do. His only friend is the pretty blonde Jenny, who has her own household demons. Jenny and Forrest grow up together and he falls in unrequited love with her. Through a series of mishaps, pure luck and idiot savant talent, Forrest goes on to be a college football star, decorated Vietnam soldier, shrimp boat entrepreneur,world-renown cross-country runner and pillar of the local community. He doesn't quite get why everyone is so ecstatic about the things he does because it comes to him naturally. He tells the audience so in a deadpan humor. Most of all Forrest just wants Jenny to be happy, but she is so psychologically scarred that it might never happen for her. This movie is great and fully deserving of all its awards, even is most of its originality has been cliched and parodied in the last 8 years.

Summary: I guess some folks just don't get it...
Review: ... I believe that it was made for us aging baby boomers. The film had outrageous explanations for everything from the smiley face (Have a nice day!) to "... Happens!" The world did indeed revolve around Forrest Gump. It was not political commentary or making fun of handicapped people..it was fairly obvious that she was supposed to have had one of the first cases and they had not developed the neat acronym yet. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you like movie magic, are a baby boomer and have not seen this film, throw down your dough, make some popcorn, relax, turn up the TV... enjoy the story and music - just have a few hankies around - you will probably need them!

Summary: Grab a Dr. Pepper And Enjoy!
Review: This movie is best experienced over and over. I've seen the movie about forty times, and my husband and I quote it frequently. (Great quotes for all occasions: Dieting? "Wanna chocolate?" ... Someone cut you off on the freeway? "Stupid is as stupid does." ... You're an executive subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury? "That's all I have to say -- about that.") Forrest Gump, a loveable innocent with an I.Q. of 75, stumbles through life pretty much without a clue ("Would you believe it? After five years of playing football I got a college degree!") -- yet he somehow manages to become a football star, a war hero, and a successful businessman. Only in America. The special effects in this one are absolutely amazing. Forrest shakes hands with JFK, peeks over George Wallace's shoulder, and shows Linden B. Johnson his butt-cheek. It's all totally first class stuff. Adventure addicts will love the war scenes (which were bloody, but not nauseating)... Comedy buffs will love Forrest's ability to be funny without meaning to... Romantics will love the unconditional adoration Forrest showers on Jenny (a confused and often abused girl who only too late realizes that what she was looking for was there all along)... History buffs will love figuring out what year it is by what events are going on at the time... This movie has something for everyone! (Due to the violence, partial nudity and foul language, however, parents should see this first. I wouldn't recommend viewing by anyone under 13.) Don't rent this one -- BUY IT for your video/dvd library and watch it often.

Summary: Life- Changing!
Review: This is the most Life-Changing video I have ever watched. My number one favourite, it follows a mentally challenged man from Alabama in the most crucial decades of the century. What will leave you watching this is Forrest's good heart. He hasn't a clue of the evil in the real world, and lives his life on a gentle breeze. The ending is remarkable! When he is talking at the end under "He and Jenny's tree", I can't help but cry. What is also entertaining is how he tells the people he sits with on the bus-stop's bench his life story. A line my mom and I laugh over is when he almost sounds annoyed as he says," And I met the President of the United States, again" and he rolls his eyes. All in all, Forrest Gump is a must see for *almost* all ages-I don't know, I saw it for the first time when I was seven! If after you see this movie you don't feel an appreciation for life knowing that their are people as gentle, and kind as Forrest Gump, and don't wish to move to a town as charming and rural as 'Greenbo', then, well...Go watch Glitter or Crossroads!
