Exquisitely made, expertly crafted… and a work of purest, blackest evil.

Stupid is as stupid does, and this movie is, indeed, stupid.

Gets my vote for the most offensive, morally repugnant film ever made

There's only one word to truly describe Forrest Gump: magical.
09/10/02
Clever, sweet and frequently very funny. I think it's a darn good movie.
07/26/02
Skillfully adapted by screenwriter Eric Roth, the story belongs in the company of such sweet classics as Rain Man and Harvey.
01/16/02
The result is an enormously accomplished piece of sentimental glop.
01/09/02
An enchanting and creative parable about a contemporary holy fool whose brand of selflessness is free of reason's madness and the ego's frivolous grandeur.

I may never fully understand the awe some Gump fans feel over this movie, but it's still a whole lot of good, sweet, silly fun.
10/09/01
views the world with such an open eye and optimistic attitude that you're willing to overlook how much it simplifies complex phenomena just because it makes you feel so good
08/28/01
A movie heart-breaker of oddball wit and startling grace.
05/12/01
There's something in the centre of Forrest Gump, and soft is one thing it definitely ain't.
04/02/01
It's been awhile since we've had a movie that offered so much and generally managed to deliver on all counts.
01/01/00
It sure seemed great at the time, but Gump is aging, and not very well.
01/01/00
Hanks is superb, reemploying the childlike presence he brought to Big.
