Forrest Gump Description Review At its best, Forest Gump is a gentle, elegiac fantasty about love and trust. --Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit --James Berardinelli, ReelViews If Forrest is a holy fool, Mr. Hanks makes his holiness very apparent. Only in this touching, imaginatively childlike performance does the film display any emotional weight. Sitting on a bench at a bus stop during most of the film, eagerly recounting his life story for a succession of strangers, Mr. Hanks's Forrest has an unerring sincerity and charm. If it's difficult to reconcile this sweet, guileless performance with the film's technical obsessiveness (a special satellite was used to track the sun's position and determine optimum lighting for the film's outdoor scenes), well, maybe it should be. --New York Times, Janet Maslin Features: Product Details: Genre: Drama/Love & Romance, Drama, Comedy Format: Multiple Formats, NTSC, Dolby, Color Contributor: Various Language: English Runtime: 2 hours and 21 minutes Aspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 2.35:1 Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 4 Ounces Item model number ‏ : ‎ 1000370507 Director ‏ : ‎ Various Media Format ‏ : ‎ Multiple Formats, NTSC, Dolby, Color Run time ‏ : ‎ 2 hours and 21 minutes Release date ‏ : ‎ August 28, 2001 Actors ‏ : ‎ Various
