Stupid is as stupid does
When it came out in 1994, "Forrest Gump" was a critical and audience success. It won Oscars for best picture, best director and best actor and hauled in $677 million worldwide at the box office. As was pointed out in Entertainment Weekly 10 years after its release, the film polarized audiences. "One half of folks see it as an artificial piece of pop melodrama, while everyone else raves that it's sweet as a box of chocolates."
