Search: Starring Sally Field

A competent effort that ensures the franchise - and [Webb's] reputation - are safe, it's just a shame it doesn't soar.

It just all feels like too much of what we expect and not enough we haven't seen before.

The adaptation is heavy-handed and crushes the life out of the story.

Whether Forrest's crippled state of mind represents America's tattered prestige is open for discussion.

Witherspoon treads water. It's a shame.

Spielberg, as he is very good at, goes out on a limb to walk a tightrope of his own making between melodrama and sinewy storytelling.

Williams is wonderful in this Granma Poppins role, except he's sugar-free, funnier and doesn't let you forget that he's Daniel inside, screaming to be a father again.

ight Gallery is a rich mixture in terms of writers, cast and adapted material.

When the central theme is incest and the running gag a legless black man whose artificial limbs keep falling off, bad taste turns rancid.

Many of the sight gags still get a laugh, but the difference between Smokey I and Smokey II involves the appearance of a farcical kind of humour.
