    • Trivia
      In an interview he gave during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, Robert Redford talked about this comedic film being a good note to end on, since the actor wanted his "last acting job to be fun."
    • Goofs
      Forrest is arrested in 1981 at the age of 74, which puts his birth year at 1907. But a flashback shows him as a tween breaking out of a juvenile center in 1936--when he would have been 29.
    • Quotes

      Stephen Beckley Jr., Esquire: I remember I sat down with him once and I said, "Forrest, surely there's an easier way for somebody in your position to make a living." And he looked at me and he said, "Brother, I'm not talking about making a living. I'm just talking about... living."

    Forgettable.

    I watched it just yesterday and I can't even remember anything to write about today. I guess this summarises the movie as a whole. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything worth remembering. Just a movie that came and went. Nothing impactful be it positively or negatively. There you go. Take this review however you want.
