Highly overrated movie about a geeky american hero

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 1998)

Whilst this movie tries to be a serious piece of "art", all it ever achieves is an incredible "we-love-America-cause-everyone-can-be-someone-here"
Tom Hanks gained lot of credit for playing Forrest Gump so brilliantly, but I can't really say I was impressed. All he did was behave more stupid than usually. Anyone could do that, as far as I'm concerned. But I have to give it some credit for all the good "Gump-liners" like "stupid is as stupid does". Want to see a good American movie? Watch ID4 or As good as it gets. Don't watch this one.
