Nonureva Really Surprised!

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

stoogedude I have seen many movies over the years, so I may be a little too discriminating. That said, Broken Bridges did not live up to my expectations. The writing wasn't the best. The directing wasn't the best. And the sound people should never work in Hollywood again.That's not to say that Toby Keith is a bad actor. Quite the contrary, he shows real potential, and I really hope to see him in other movies, hopefully movies that are better written and allow Toby to really show his acting chops. Toby said that while it may not seem like a stretch, he is really different from his character, and unlike the real life Toby, Bo is struggling with his career. Toby...you're a great singer, brilliant songwriter, outstanding performer...but this wasn't much of a stretch. A cop, a lawyer, a teacher, or even a biker allows you to try out your acting chops. Toby plays a country singer, and Toby is really a country singer. Toby Keith's character dresses like...Toby Keith. But Toby did give a good performance, so I applaud him for that.Lindsey Haun had better become a big star. She's beautiful, and shes a great singer and actress...a double WHAMMY! Her performance of Broken was one of the highlights of the movie. This wasn't a huge blockbuster film, but I hope it was big enough to get people to notice this great talent.The soundtrack was very good, I'll give it that. But I was expecting much more with this film. It's great that so many people on here like it. It just wasn't for me.

Julie Workman This is a great family film. Anyone should be proud to add this to their personal DVD library. It is one of those rare films that leaves you wanting to see more at the end, sorry that it's over and wanting to know more about the lives of the interesting characters. The story line is extremely moving and tugs at the heart strings.What a fabulous find - as there is much garbage out there. What great fun it is to share works of art such as this. I crave more films like this one and constantly search them out. Kudos to the creators! Thank you to the cast.FYI - check out Toby Keith's I Love That Bar and Grill restaurant/bar in Bricktown/Oklahoma City. It's a fun place with great atmosphere, serving up terrific food & entertainment.

marty519 What starts off as a slower paced, mom vs daughter in modern times film, slowly, moves into it's real plot which is you can come home if you left your heart there. The film does a great job in developing the relationship between the characters present and past and what might have been and what still might be. It develops, without over developing, the deep value of family and the simple things in life. The editing was a bit choppy, but the acting, music and story all work. The story includes headliners from country, but the director did not let them steal the film, nor distract from it, just contribute to it which is no small feat in film today.

spamdenied Saw this on a plane from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Note- I am NOT a country music fan, and I still have to say that the the movie is everything good in movie making, with great dialog that will make you laugh even while raising some very serious and sad issues. The soundtrack is excellent, even if you don't like country music. The ending is a bit forced and too quick to resolve, but the first half alone makes this a gem. Toby Keith is credible, but the leading and supporting ladies make the film. Kelly Preston is magnificent- you see and feel her character change and grow throughout the film. Lindsay Haun is very good as the daughter, and man can she sing! Burt Reynolds plays his part of the stern and lonely father perfectly.
