Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother; Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam; Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp; and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

Forrest gump never was a comedy and it never will be one. It's a drama story about a man with lower IQ, about his life, and you'll just laught to it? You better have good reason for putting comedy for this move. It's even not funny at all. I watched the movie and loved it but it is NOT FUNNY!!! I put only one star because of your bug if you change it i'll put 5.

"Life is like a box of chocolate".From the start of the movie, I thought that this would be a normal Tom Hanks performance, good but not remarkable. However, I was totally wrong. This movie perfectly captures every single emotions a person could display from sadness to happiness to excitement and it is without a doubt one of the greatest movies of our generation, and I am proud to be a part of it.

Enjoyed the multi-layered story, at once a light and very funny comedy and at the same time an alternative view of the major events in contemporary history. Tom Hanks shows why he is one of the most versatile actors of the day - fully becoming Forest Gumption that it is difficult to imagine anyone else playing the role.
