This is a solid comedy and sometimes it get pretty darn hysterical. I wouldn't be shocked if the makers of "Forrest Gump" got some ideas from this movie. The plot is basically about a guy that isn't really mentally challenged but isn't too bright either and is very sheltered. Getting out into the real world and going through what life throws at him. And it's pure comedy sometimes and Steve Martin really steals the show as this naive and yet somewhat likable guy. And most of the comedy comes from how he interacts with people from his view and being all naive and stuff. And it's entertaining to watch how everything gets put together and plays out. It kinda loses it's flare after the gas station scenes but overall this is a great comedy that shouldn't be missed. It lacks emotion and some places it seemed a bit rushed. But this is suppose to be a comedy and as a comedy it works all around.
7.8/10
