A real weepie

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 1999)

I must admit I came close to tears while watching 'Forrest Gump'. I nearly cried when I realised I'd invested AUD$11 and a couple of hours of my life on such an exceptionally worthless film.
To pick up the thread from another viewer, this film dishes out a puritanical (read: American) fable whose message is: if you're conservative, straight and don't rock the boat, all will be well; but be outrageous, rebellious and buck the system, you get AIDS and die.
Very over-rated piece of hyped up shlock.
