I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast

Forrest Gump (1994) Directed by Robert Zemeckis Written by Eric Roth Starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Sally Field, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson Release Date July 6th, 1994 Slow-witted Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive mother (Sally Field), he leads anything but a restricted life. Whether dominating on the gridiron as a college football star, fighting in Vietnam or captaining a shrimp boat, Forrest inspires people with his childlike optimism. But one person Forrest cares about most may be the most difficult to save -- his childhood love, the sweet but troubled Jenny (Robin Wright).
