Summary: GREAT movie only SAD ending...
Review: This movie is a nice movie to watch, and beautiful filmed as well. Like those water drops slowly dropping... Only the only sad part was that it has a bit of a sad ending, since Sandra is my favorite... The movie goes like this: It's only two days before Ben's (Ben Affleck) wedding when his plane "crashes". He "rescues" Sarah (Sandra Bullock), and decides not to fly to his wedding in Savannah. He ends up with Sarah in a car of a strange guy, because there was no other transportation possible, and ends up in jail for a night. After that everything is going to be a disaster. The only positive thing is that Sarah keeps him company, and makes the journey more enjoyable.The rest you have to see for yourselves of course, but it is worth watching..

Summary: Waste of talent and potential material.
Review: There's nothing really more irritating than sitting down to a movie that you think is going to be good and ends up falling flat on its face. "Forces of Nature," while trying to be funny and cheerful, succeeds only in achieving this goal, and, I must say, very admirably. Promoted as a bright and sassy comedy about a guy trying desperately to get to his wedding, it ends up being more, so much more, in fact, that it bogs the film down in a blithering mess of subplot and washed up one-liners which carry on for too long. The husband in question is Ben Holmes, who hates bachelor parties and can't wait to get hitched with his soulmate sweetheart. Of course, they both live in New York, and since the story needs a great deal of distance to separate our two love birds for a long period of time, the wedding is going to take place in Savannah, where her parents are planning a very festive celebration. Ben's parents want to marry him off for some reason not discussed in the plot. She flies down before him (why not together?), and he soon boards his own plane which has an accident on the runway, leaving him and his seating partner Sarah stranded. Sarah is a bit wild and evasive, without a care in the world it seems, though her admissions will later prove otherwise. Thus begins the wild race down to Savannah, involving natural and human disasters which stand in his way, not to mention his undeniable attraction to the illustrious Sarah. The story seems like it has a lot going for it. So why does it fail in so many places during the movie? Well, there's a lot of things wrong with it: the contrivance of the plot, the bad execution of most of the key scenes, the let-down ending, and most of all, the character of Ben. Throughout the entire movie, our two little nomads run into one problem after another, from things like stalled planes to switched train cars, from stormy weather to geriatrics on a travel bus who believe the lie about Ben being a doctor, Ben and Sarah run into just about anything you can possibly think of. While this may sound amusing, it gets to the point where you keep wishing he'd do one of two things: call his parents and get their credit card number to purchase a ticket to Savannah, or screw Sarah like he knows he wants to, call his fiancee and break the wedding off, and run away into the sunset and never be seen again. The way some of the scenes in this film were carried out, as well as their content, are too contrived and unbelievable to make the movie work. one of these scenes that especially stands out is the trip they take to K-Mart to get out of a rainstorm. Here, they are seen romping through the store, using walkie-talkies to communicate while shopping, sitting in beach lounge chairs having drinks and talking like they own the chain of stores. I'm not sure how they usually operate things at K-Mart, but in my town, they'd be kicked out by management. The ending is the biggest contrivance, and since I cannot give it away, let's just say that there's no way you can have a wedding like that. The characters of the film turn out to be a major disappointment, especially when they are given the opportunity to shine. Ben, portrayed by Ben Affleck, is portrayed as nothing more than a mushy, whining idiot who you wish would trip and break his face at least ten times throughout the movie. While his inner struggle is supposed to provide a dramatic factor for the movie, it does nothing more than make him and the story more annoying and unbearable. Sandra Bullock, while charming and radiant, proves that her character is a big fat waste of talent. Her free-spiritedness and wit grow even more tired than Affleck's whining, though she does have her monents of hilarity. The saddest waste of actress is Maura Tierney, who plays Ben's fiancee. During her stay in Savannah, awaiting the arrival of Ben, all she can do is pout about his inability to reach her sooner, get drunk with friends, be seduced without success by an old high school male friend, and listen to her parents gripe and complain about her fiancee's tardiness. One an even worse note, I must comment on the decision to try and have a parental storyline going on in the midst of everything else (as if there weren't enough to keep up with already). Tierney's parents turn out to be separated, while Affleck's are happily married. They keep popping up just when you think they've been obliterated by the scriptwriter who was deciding to give us a blessing. My summation: too much plot going on, hardly a shred of believability, even if you suspend disbelief, and less-than-amusing characters, all combined into one large mess that makes "Forces of Nature" a very confused and sloppy attempt at a romantic comedy. To thou who wouldst see this movie, I charge thee beware endless subplots and annoyances that make your own life's discord seem like posies in a breezy field.

Summary: I'm Forcing You To Buy This Movie
Review: Ben Holmes (Affleck) is heading to Savannah for his wedding (Tierney plays his fiance') from New York, when his plane crashes. Luckily, no one dies, but Ben does meet a beautiful woman (Bullock) who he teams up with to get to Savannah, because you see, he's only got two days to get there. On the way to the wedding, the duo have to make their way through all varieties of bad weather, and maybe even fall in love, but hey, he can't do that, he's going to get married, right? What Ben doesn't know is that there are larger forces at work.

Summary: one big huge YAWN
Review: Sandra Bullock (WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, 28 DAYS), stars in this film which can't decide wether its a romantic comedy or a moralistic melodrama. The film moves slowly, picking up in the places where Bullock says a funny quip, then bogs down again. Ben Affleck seems very ill at ease, and clearly wants no part of the proceedings here. I was very disappointed with this film, expecting something like the delightful Bullock outing WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, but this bloated turkey came out instead. Not worth your effort, believe me.

Summary: Of *course* they're mismatched!
Review: That's the point of this movie--2 people who shouldn't be together, but who teach each other something along the way while also learning a lot about themselves. Why is it that every time Sandra Bullock goes beyond the cutesy "While You Were Sleeping" format (which I admit to loving), she cops it? She's fantastic as the likeable Sarah who doesn't see just how likeable she is, and learns to accept herself during the journey. Ben Affleck is a stiff? He's *supposed* to be, and that adds value to the film, especially his embarrassment at having to peel 'Sarah' off the floor of a K-Mart they're sheltering in. And then there's the striptease in the gay bar--gorgeous. Obviously I was looking at it from a different angle, because I thought Bullock & Affleck had a lot of chemistry going on and played off each other nicely. Combine that with a great support cast, especially Steve Zahn as Affleck's best friend, and Moira Tierney as his fiance, and you've got a great, fun flick. It deserves 5 stars for recognizing that there will always be temptation--how we chose to deal with it is the ultimate test of character.

Summary: Holds up against similar movies.
Review: This romantic comedy is in the same vein as It Happened One Night, The Out of Towners and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It is the most similar to It Happened One Night, in trying to decide on marriage. Things were a lot more clear in that age. The parents in this comedy are great too. I am a Sandra Bullock fan, she is good in this part. I mean it is modern times and you don't have to get hysterical. I believe it was ingenious some of the plot twists they chose. It is not slow moving or boring, very entertaining. Feel free to email me with questions or comments.
