Forrest Gump

CriticsCritics: 79
AudienceAudience: 8.7

A good-hearted man with below-average intelligence moves through an extraordinary life, becoming part of major moments in American history and achieving more than others expect. Through changing fortunes, friendships, and adventures, he remains devoted to the childhood friend he loves, whose path is far less settled.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like heartfelt stories that mix humor, emotion, friendship, and a sweeping journey through American history; Not for you if you prefer grounded plots without sentimental turns or unlikely coincidences.
