Forrest Gump

My movie choice this week was Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks and Sally Field. This is a heart warming story about a man just trying to live his life. He grew up in Alabama and was always considered a little slow. As a child he had to wear leg braces because he walked funny and it made kids not really like him that much. His best friend is Jenny and she also plays a very big role in the movie.

Forrest Joins the army and meets his good friend Bubba who sadly dies at war but leads Forrest to open up a shrimping business in his memory. Forrest goes through a lot of different things that really show how truly good of a person he is. This is a great movie and I'd recommend to anyone who likes good movies and isn't mean.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Mrs. Doubtfire was created in 1993, it stars Robin Williams (Flubber, Jack), Sally Field (Forrest Gump, Steal Magnolias), and is directed by Chris Colombus. The movie centers around a man who is going through a divorce and is fighting a serious custody battle. The court only allows him a little bit of time each week to see his children so he goes to drastic measures to see them more.

He sees that his wife is looking to hire a nanny so he decides to, with the help of his brother, dress up as an older woman and try to get the job. He knows his wife very well so he knows exactly what to do to get the job and it totally worked. For a long time it worked out and everyone was really enjoying the arrangment but soon his son will learn the truth and then all the children find out. This was a hilarious movie and I have always loved it. Its great for all ages and has some amazing actors. I would recommend it to anyone! :)
