Best Picture? Not really.

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 1998)

I find it interesting that this picture won an Oscar over Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption, BOTH of which were better movies, in my opinion.
I also find it interesting that Robin Wright as Jenny wasn't nominated, when I thought her performance was one of the GOOD things about the movie. She seemed to be the only person involved with the film the Academy ignored that year.
The movie wasn't terrible, but it was too long, overly sentimental and not especially memorable. I did think Tom Hanks delivered a fine performance, but I don't know if I'd term it a "Best Actor" caliber performance either.
Basically, an overrated, over-hyped movie.
