The most overrated movie I've seen.

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2017)

A trite and pointless waste of time. We are supposed to relate to his simplistic view of the world but it is extremely hard to care. The more the film goes on the more annoying the character becomes. So many people recommended the film as an uplifting experience but I found it dark and depressing. Hanks was hugely lauded for his performance yet the role required little range. If over the top fairy tales about the mentally handicapped are your cup of tea then you may find the movie enjoyable.
