ShangLuda Admirable film.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

adonis98-743-186503 A soon-to-be-married man encounters an exciting stranger after his plane suffers an accident on takeoff. Forces of Nature is not a masterpiece or a terrific film but i gotta say it was way better the 2nd time around that i saw it it's actually a good romantic film and the 2 main stars Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock have a great chemistry together. There are a few good laughs here and there and the ending is kinda unexpected when you think about it for both Ben and Sarah. Now the film does have issues tho like it's pacing and some jokes don't quite laugh also the characters do some pretty weird stuff threw out their journey but overall it's an okay romantic film with 2 really good actors and a good supporting cast. (6.3/10)

mdf615 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.

Amy Adler Ben (Ben Affleck) is engaged to a beautiful woman with Southern roots, Bridget (Maura Tierney). It is the week before the wedding and poor Benjamin, who hates to fly, has to board a plane to Savannah. A book jacket writer, this handsome man tries to stay calm. However, the plane has problems and makes an emergency landing. Also on the aircraft, two seats away, was Sarah (Sandra Bullock), a free-spirit if there ever was one. As Ben doesn't want to fly and Sarah kind of takes a shine to him, they decide to hitch a ride with another man in a rental car. However, again, there are problems, as the man has pot in the auto and the three are hauled off to jail. And, so it goes. There is one mishap after another, with Ben calling Bridget at intervals to assure her that he is "almost there". Her family is fuming, for they didn't like his Yankee heritage anyway. In fact, Bridget's father has invited a former flame to attend the pre-nupts and make moves on this engaged woman. As Bridget feels a slight pull in her ex's direction and Ben becomes more enamored with the unusual Sarah, will there end up being a wedding at all? This film is a fairly good romcom but not outstanding. Yes, its my nature, along with the rest of the world, to love Affleck and Bullock and they do their best, making the flick better than the script. Tierney, Steve Zahn, and all of the other supporting cast members are great, too. Also, the changing scenery from the various stops on Ben and Sarah's journey is nice, too while costumes are flattering. The nearly last scene, with an outside wedding being disturbed by strong winds, is quite wonderful. Therefore, its the tepid script and average direction that are to fault. Its another case of planes, trains, and automobiles mixed with mismatched mates, making viewers get a bit of deja vu all over again. So, dear romcom fans, you will probably enjoy this one but may feel desolate at the end, which, in my opinion, is not what is wanted or expected.

Thorsten-Krings First the good thing: the film is a quite well made road movie / quest story about a not so young man who needs ti find out what really is important for him. Another great thing is that the film does not get the soppy, cheesy ending you expect for a long time but ends on a rather serious note. Then, the film is also quite funny and entertaining. However, the whole idea of the film and indeed some of the gags and scenes seem to be lifted from the Steve Martin / John Candy vehicle "Trains, planes and automobiles" and you do feel reminded of Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild". So all in all with a lot of scenes you just get the impression that you have all in seen it before.
