Storyline
A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events - in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. Yet, despite all the things he has attained, his one true love eludes him. 'Forrest Gump' is the story of a man who rose above his challenges, and who proved that determination, courage, and love are more important than ability.

Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit.

Variety
Manages the difficult feat of being an intimate, even delicate tale played with an appealingly light touch against an epic backdrop.

Chicago Reader
The results are skillful, highly affecting, and ultimately more than a little pernicious.

A remarkable balance of sentimentality and harshness, darkness and light.

Doesn't sound like a very prepossessing title, but prepare to be taken aback by "what's in a name." [6 July 1994, Life, p.1D]
