A major disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2001)

After all the hype and promotion, I was disappointed at the lack of content. The scenes of nudity and sexuality were unnecessary and made a film which could have been great an embarrassment for those of us who prefer to stay out of other folks' bedrooms. The acting by Mr. Hanks, however, was superb. (The only reason I gave it a "3" instead of a "1") He made me empathize with, and love, Forrest. His portrayal of this gentle man was the bright spot in this fatally flawed movie.
