Summary: Run Forrest, Run.....
Review: Tom Hanks is one of my all-time favorite actors. He becomes each character! His portrayal of Forrest was brilliant, even though controversial. As if blessed, Forrest drifts through life on a path taking him to his destiny. Jenny and Lieutenant Dan's lives become interwoven with Forrest's interesting life.Jenny seems lost and tries to find happiness in life without Forrest. He never forgets her and the theme of his enduring love for her, transcends life's difficulties. From the start you know Jenny and Forrest are meant to be together. This movie deals with many difficult, real-life issues. It is a tragic love story with memorable one-liners and humorous special effects. Perhaps it is the narration by Tom Hanks or the beauty in the simplicity of life, or the various themes and humor running through this movie. We are reminded that the love of our country, the love of our friends and the love of good honest work is what makes our life great.

Summary: Run Forrest Run
Review: The key to your liking this movie will be if you can accept Tom Hanks as a slow-witted guy (who happens to have an incredible number of things fall his way.) He rolls through the decades and manages to become part of a great many historical events. The Vietnam conflict, Watergate, meeting Elvis before he becomes famous... If you get into the spirit of which this movie was intended you'll enjoy it immensely. There are some good laughs, some tear-jerking moments and some scenes that just make you roll your eyes and say "Oh, Brother." Don't start watching the movie with an intent on scrutinizing every little thing or you won't enjoy it very much. I, however, thought is was great.

Summary: Best movie ever
Review: This was probably the best movie I have ever seen. I goes from the 40's-the 80's showing the path of a young boy to a successful adult over coming difficulties.

Summary: Pure vomit.
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I was privilaged to have seen it for free. Thank God. It was the most insipid tripe ever put on screen. Despite having paid nothing to see it, I was non-the-less sorry to have wasted my eyesight on this piece of retard-O dung. It was little more than a trivial carnival ride through the 60's, 70', and 80's, that served only to assure a bunch of jerk-off baby boomers that they were the only generation who ever existed. What a waste. Steer clear of this box of chocolates... you might wind up with a rude surprise.

Summary: Great
Review: This movie is great because it is so hilarious. But also because it rips my heart out because of 1) Forrest's unrequited love he wants from Jenny, and--unfortunately--I can relate to unrequited love. 2) Jenny's confused, troubled adulthood because of her father sexually molesting her as a child 3) Lieut. Dan's bitterness at losing his legs and not dying in battle. God! So much hard-hitting emotion. This is one of those rare movies that entertains you, makes you feel and makes you think.

Summary: Realize the film's true message: have a moral compass
Review: One of the greatest movies of all time. In the top 3. JFK, Its a Wonderful Life, Forrest Gump. We need to ask ourselves what can a film do? The most a film can do is change our lives forever, and Forrest Gump does that. AHHHHHH! People reading your reviews is painful. Please realize what you are seeing! Forrest Gump is a METAPHOR, a parable of America. Why do you think he journey's through the late 20th century? Its not an accident. Gump is a message to us, that if we stick to our MORAL COMPASS, we could even be retarded and things will work out. We don't know this. Jenny represents us--America who does not stay true to her moral compass and she flounders, yet time and time again Gump, the living embodiment of a moral compass comes to rescue her. The point of Gump's dim-wittedness is to contrast more clearly that the thing that brings him success is his goodness. This is something we evidently have forgotten all about in America and we need to be reminded. We begin with Forrest as a boy who falls in love with a girl who stands by him against some bullies. When we find that she is being abused by her father and she asks that she wished she were a bird to fly away and Forrest prays for her, with God arranging for her to be rescued by a relative taking custody, most human beings would be moved to tears at this point. The prayers of the simple and pure of heart are answered. This theme of Jenny wishing she could fly away continues throughout the film. She can't fly but she does teach Forrest to run, and run he does. With his pure heart, he goes far, to the crimson Tide football campus, to Vietnam, to Red China, to a shrimp boat... As the years go by, anchored by Forrest being involved with every event, Jenny goes astray and Forrest tries to rescue her. The scene where he decks the militant boyfriend who slapped her shows that he is not some weakling, but a U.S. Army Soldier who loves his woman as much as he loves his country! The relationship of Forrest with Lt. Dan is beautiful as despite all the bitterness and rage the latter feels towards life, Forrest reminds him, "You are still Lt. Dan". And this is the central thing, its the fact that we are each unique and ourselves that makes us worthwhile, not any act or achievement. Forrest achieves mightily but he knows that his value is that he is himself and he only wishes to be with his Jenny. True love gives and doesn't expect to be returned. If we had more people with half their intellects and replaced that with half of Forrest's heart we would be in great shape today. That is the message of Forrest Gump---the feather is having the right attitude to always be able to fly no matter where the wind takes you, to keep your humanity and do what is right no matter what. The sad ending reminds us that we have to intervene and protect people early, and to cherish the ones we love today before its too late. O, I wished the Jenny at the end of the film was that way earlier on, sensible, beautiful, competent, why did she have to go through so many hard knocks in life to get there. Maybe some of the women watching the film will see her journey and arrive at that point a womanhood sooner with happier endings. To men, I say be selfless like Forrest is and devote your lives to others as a protector and have a moral compass. A great film, my review above does not do it justice.

Summary: So this is not based on a true story.....
Review: This is fiction, folks and about as good as it gets! Imagine a simple minded (yet functional) man who sets out to be the best he can be! Okay, so maybe it is over-exaggerated in ways but it is a darn fine film, one full of compassion and love and Tom Hanks has you cheering Forrest on from the very beginning. Gary Sinese is absolutely wonderful as Lt. Dan in this film. The way they were able to modify the old clips to get Forrest in on the action was great. I thought this was a very, very good movie, full of hope and promise and is it wrong for anyone of us to dream? I think not! Sit back, enjoy and remember, it's entertainment!
