A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

Critics credited Tom Hanks's sincere performance and Robert Zemeckis's craft for giving a whimsical tour of American history real warmth. The film was praised as heartfelt and often poetic. Reservations center on its sentimentality and lightweight treatment of history, which is why critics rate it well below audiences.
