we weren't over impressed with this although generally it was enjoyed by the group and enabled us to discuss the Vietnam war and the impression it left on the US as well as the device of a story that might be purely in someone's imagination -does that make it real? ( )

he was born an idiot- but I'm cleverer than most poeple think; says Forrest Gump. We quickly realize that this is true in this wonderfully warn and funny story about a good hearted young man from Alabama but whose best friend,sue, is an ape!
