Review of Forrest Gump (DVD) by harryherbert01

Advantages: A great, moving film which will remain in your thoughts forever

Diamond review   An Advert For Idiots
Review of Forrest Gump (DVD) by willgould

Advantages: Gives the easily moved something to cry about.
Disadvantages: It would be an excellent film if it didnt suck so much.

I’m actually allergic to Forrest Gump. All it takes is for someone to say (in the appropriate voice) “I’m Forrest, Forrest Gump” and I go into shock. I was in a coma for two weeks after someone crept up behind me and said “Life is like a box of chocolates…” luckily I managed to smite him dead before he could finish the quote, which could have killed me. Every one has things they just can’t stand; for Winston its rats, for Rabbit its mess and for ... Read review

As a child, he was mercilessly bullied because of his leg ... Read review
