Forrest Gump in reverse

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2011)

This. Movie. Was. Terrible.
It was quite literally Forrest Gump with a change of disabilities.
In it, we follow Forre.. er.. I mean Benjamin as he experiences his life in reverse. It is, of course, full of fantastical occurrences that most compilations of 20 men wouldn't meet in their lifetimes, but of course, Forrest (oops I did it again, I mean Benjamin!) just manages to fall ass-backwards into every piece of luck he possibly can. Father is a millionaire -- Here take all this free money!
Its full of stereotypes -- The cruel white businessman who doesn't accept his son because of his appearance, the elegant and beautiful mother dying during childbirth, the loving black mammy taking in the unwanted child, the hard-working and stressed out surrogate father asking "Why are we taking care of someone else's child?!?", the neglected, spoiled businesswoman jumping in bed with Benjamin as much to punish her husband as because of her desire to be with Benjamin, and the oft-returning love interest that's made a family for herself but never stopped loving! Oh! So original! If you can't piece this film together yourself from about 3 or 4 other better films then.. well.. you just haven't seen enough movies in your life.
Watch a couple of good films and don't waste your time on this one.
