Amazon.com essential video:
The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

Rating:  - Sappy, unbelievable melodrama
I can't believe that this movie won over The Shawshank Redemption at the Oscars for Best Picture.

For your own good, stay away from this one.
Rating: - A babyboomer's wet dream
Forrest Gump was nothing more than an adult baby crib movie produced by a bunch of over-the-hill boomers who still have delerious todler memories of JFK.
Rating:  - What more can I add that the Oscars, Hollywood, the Internet, and all the reviews haven't?
In the early fifties two children are born in the less-fortunate parts of Alabama - one is Forrest Gump and the other is his best friend Jenny. Though these two children have the same starting points, they grow up to lead very different lives. In Robert Zemeckis' Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump we're introduced to Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) who always seems to have his route in life predetermined by the most unfortunate of circumstances, and manages to get there by running. Jenny (Hanna Hall) on the ... Read More
Rating:  - Mediocrity at its finest...
I know that I should love this movie since everyone else in the world does, but I can't help but get this overwhelming singe of disappointment every time I sit down to watch this movie (which isn't often, but I recently watched this for the third time thinking that maybe I was harsh on it the first two times). `Forrest Gump' is what I consider, as my title suggests, mediocrity done extremely well. It's what happens when you take a cliché ridden story and fill it with gimmicky characters who speak ... Read More
Rating: - Forrest Gump DVD Two Disc set
The product itself was fine, but it took me over 10 days to receive it.
Need to improve shipping procedures.
