Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2005)

This is the best film I have ever seen. It broke my heart, yet was so funny in parts. It is impeccably acted, from even the youngest of cast members, and the tapestry of Forrest's life crossing paths with memorable historic events is magical. A young boy from the deep south with a disability who meets such people as John Lennon, Elvis Presley and two presidents of the United States! A story of romance, prejudice,abuse, war, humour, drugs and most of all, serendipity, this is a MUST-SEE film. Once I had seen it, I immediately purchased it on DVD so that I could watch it with all my friends again and again. I showed it to my best friend, and she too became enchanted. Please, please watch this film. You owe it to yourself!
