Forrest Gump is a feelgood movie about a slightly retarded man's stumble through life. He manages to do everything right, survive in the face of adversity, and come up with implausibly good ideas.

Kudos to Hanks for playing a mentally challenged character as good as the legendary Rainman. ...  Read the complete review
