I think a teacher showed it in school, or somebody in Sunday School/Youth Group. I'm not quite sure where it was. But other than that I've not yet seen this movie. It was due today, but I wanted to see it--so I'll return it tomorrow (I'm off work and will be job hunting). The dollar late fee is acceptable as a rental fee, ;-). Normally I wouldn't be this bad, but I've not had much time for movies lately, especially when I don't remember them until it is too late and I'm working the next morning or I'm too tired.Oh, I do remember something else. Paul Shanklin has a great parody of this movie with Forest Gore, the man with a room temperature IQ. At one point Forest says the following to President Clinton: "My mama says your foreign policy is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." :-)

I have also recently rented Forest Gump, as well as Rain Man, for Kate and I to watch. I hadn't seen either in a long time and wasn't remembering the rougher parts. They both have some great moments and some bad ones. Hanks and Hoffman were both outstanding.
Another, lesser-known movie, in which an actor plays a mentally challenged person, is Digging to China with Kevin Bacon. It is strange, but interesting. I loved I Am Sam. Penn is an awesome actor, though I don't care for his politics.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with those descriptions--same with Penn. I haven't seen Digging to China, but I might look for it now. Thanks.
