Very Cool!!!

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The story is about Ben Affleck who is about to get married. He only has to get to his wedding. Will he get there in time? Because the plane that will take him there crashes on the runway. Desperatedly seeking alternative ways of transport Affleck meets the ever charming and wild girl Sandra Bullock who becomes his travel companion. Will he cave in to the wild charms of Sandra Bullock during their trip to the wedding together or will he stay faithfull to his fiancee?Ideal date movie. But it deserves much more praise then just that. "Forces of Nature" is a roadmovie with lots of very sharp and funny dissonant comments about the downs of marriage. It has got a great dynamic, fast pace and many story twists that are enticing. Thanks to the colourful direction and the wonderful acting performances of Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck this movie really rises far above the average romantic comedy. In essence it is a ROADMOVIE with some budding romance, but for lack of a better label it could be called a romantic comedy as well, but one of the better ones. Really much better than the average crap.Really, if this movie wont set your date on fire, I dont know what movie will. Your girl will melt in your arms watching this. Your guy will definitely wanna confess his love for you after watching this. It is really an unique blend of a road movie and some great sparkling romance. This movie definitely has got a great lust for life!

I am stunned by how many people are disappointed by the ending of this movie, saying it is depressing, unexpected, unwelcome, dissatisfying, etc... I guess these folks think that being stood up on the day of one's wedding makes for a feel-good movie!!! The ending affirms the beauty and magic of real love, an emotion that is exalted and pure, and lies above fleeting whims and senseless, immature attractions. Ben realizes that Bridget is his one, true love. Yes, he was distracted by the human tornado that is Sarah, but upon seeing his fiancée once again, he remembers all the reasons he fell in love with her to begin with, and he recognizes that what Sarah said earlier was right: all the things he found exotic about this stranger would one day be all the things he hated about her. He had no true bond with her, they could never sustain a life together, and he was smart enough to realize that before he threw away the best thing in his life. He comes full circle at the end: Sarah tells him not to be polite, and to be honest, just like his fiancée did at the beginning of the movie. For him, honesty is admitting that Bridget is the only one for him. By the way, Maura Tierney is one of the greatest actresses of her generation. She deserves continued success.

Plenty of spoilers, be warned! But I was really annoyed with this movie. that said, Sandra Bullock was as always splendid. But ultimately, wasted.I give this 4 stars solely for Bullock's fine acting as always. She's always worth watching, but pity about the script and the lead male actor.Well I don't have to "like" the sickeningly annoying ending just because some think it's "brave" etc. Of course it depends what you like and when I read an ending is "brave" I immediately suspect that means I won't like it at all. And I didn't. On the other hand...... someone else may feel it was the right ending. After all the guy was supposed to be getting married, and after behaving like a jerk, he finally does.Once you see the ending, you realise what an annoying twerp the hero Affleck plays actually is. My extreme disappointment turned to "Serves the pair of them right, him and his wife-to-be right, she'll regret that marriage." Fortunately I didn't much like the fiancée and I didn't think much of the hero either. He definitely led Bullock's character on, he was weak, and you can see this recurring later in his life with other women, especially if they are predatory which Bullock's character is not. She was far better without him so in that respect the ending is the right one, but the way it's achieved, and Bullock's resigned acceptance, these are so annoying.I imagine the "point" of the story was that the hero would waver but end up still true to his girl. This could have worked if he and his girl had been interesting and moving characters and Bullock had lost patience with him and told him to do the right thing and go back to her. But no, Bullock's character had to be humiliated.So I felt very let down because Bullock was led on by this guy and then he changed his mind and dumped her and she grieves over this jerk. One can imagine him doing the same to his wife in some later year and assuring himself it's not his fault.... I see a weak-minded serial adulterer there. Which is partly due to the actor's portrayal of the character, of course. It could have been so different if the actor had been better at his job.So as in some others of Bullock's movies, the leading male actor is a disappointment and the story isn't as good as it could have been. This could still have ended as it did without leaving a very sour taste in the mouth or having to call the ending "brave" to perhaps avoid having to say "urk".

I cannot imagine anything that would be more fun than taking a road-trip with Sarah Lewis (Sandra Bullock). That is why I really think this film is worth watching. Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck) got something that very few of us ever get to experience - a couple of days with someone who will truly liberate us from our staid conventions and open our eyes to a world that we never knew even existed.Working with the developmentally disabled, I have to constantly remember that I cannot say they don't want to live or work or do something until I have exposed them to that opportunity and let them make an informed choice.How many times have we made choices without knowing all the opens - or even that there are options. Ben got the opportunity to make an informed choice. I am not saying I would have made his choice, but he knew what he was doing.Don't watch this movie looking for a comedy, even though it is funny; don't watch it looking for romance, even though there is plenty to see; but watch it to open your eyes to another world and ask yourself if your world is really what you want.
