Overrated feel good movie

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2003)

This is possibly the most overrated film of recent times. The film follows the fortunes of Forrest Gump. Forrest is simple, but manages to have an impact on American history throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's. The film is an American dream and yet something tells me that America is the least likely place for Forrest to be a success. American culture is all about conforming to the norm and Forrest simply wouldn't be tolerated in real life.
