Forces of Nature Review |

Ben Affleck stares up at the camera as he's carried on the hands of his
bachelor-partying friends. It's an upbeat opening to a movie comprised of
one up-beat after another. DreamWorks takes a rather uninteresting plotline
and makes a movie that moves...more |

Part road movie, part romantic comedy, Forces of Nature takes several
overfamiliar plots and, well, repeats them. It's certainly not
innovative, but it does have its moments. more |

Scratch the thesis set forth in the review of Never Been Kissed.
Hollywood, as the year goes on, becomes progressively worse. Why? Because
you don't expect it to be bad. Through some constant naiveté that the movie

But then something strange and frightening happens, something that makes
going to the movies worthwhile - the filmmaker surprises us. He pulls the
cinematic rug out from under our feet and sends us sprawling on our

When a movie is consistently amusing, it will always be a good one, no

Forces of Nature is a film that I fell in love with from the very start.
This film has a sort of charm and style that immediately drew me in, and as
the film moved on, it showed that it doesn't just rely on charm and style
to keep me loving it. more |

Like some pseudo-exotic punch that mixes kiwi juice and strawberry
nectar, "Forces of Nature" combines the terrors of "Twister" and the

Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck make one hell of a sickeningly attractive
