disgusting, overrated, pointless

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck) a professional book-jacket blurbologist, is trying to get to Savannah for his wedding. He just barely catches the last plane, but a seagull flies into the engine as the plane is taking off. So he is forced to hitch a ride with an attractive but eccentric woman named Sara (Sandra Bullock) Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock make an attractive romantic pairing, and have a certain amount of chemistry. Michael Fairrman Bridget Thurman, Moira Tierney, Steve Zahn, Ronny Cox and Richard Schiff are all good in supporting roles. The plot moves a long at a good pace, their are a few laughs to be had and the ending is a surprise too.I don't understand the hate that Affleck gets, as I usually enjoy his movies that vary in tone, style and subject matter drastically 'Company Men' or 'Armageddon' 'Argo' and 'Hollywoodland' or the (what I consider the under rated 'Jersey Girl' I enjoy him in all of them. As for Bullock, she remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes promising just by having her name in it's cast.

like this one, a 10 is all you can do. Ben Affleck is great, Sandra -the woman plays the woman's role like nobody else could have.....If I get tears in a movie, the movie is a m o v i e ........touching. Thank you folks who did it, the folks who wrote this wonderful story. Am I sentimental? Yess. And it feels good. Each turn of the story makes you wish, hope, and finally no violence in a movie. What a relief. If you watch this movie around x-mas, you probable get more sentimental than in a hot summer night, I don't know. It took me 12 years to get to see this movie. Heard so much and everything I heard was an understatement. Thank you Ben and Sandra, love you.

(Sorry for the double-entendre). This is my favorite Ben Affleck movie (though he may have done a better acting job in Bounce) and it is my favorite Sandra Bullock movie, although she was great in The Net. From start to finish, this is one of the freshest, most sincere, exciting, approachable and lighthearted romance films I have ever seen. The relationship between the two is never quite defined, and the dialogue and actions from almost everyone in the film puts all those relationships under scrutiny.It does this in a considerate, intelligent way, though, and at the end, I was left with an appreciation of both new experiences and the social structure I depend on and will continue to.The end was brilliant, and the scene on top of the train (and when she is beckoning Ben to come up there), is one of my favorite of all time. Written from the ground up with a great deal of respect for the human condition, Forces of Nature is a classic.

I haven't seen that many good films starring Ben Affleck, hence I call him Ben "Assface", but I was still going to give this comedy a go, even with it being two stars. Basically book writer Ben Holmes (Affleck) is soon to be married to his sweetheart and awaiting bride Bridget Cahill (Maura Tierney), and he is being delayed by so many mishaps. After an incident on his plane, he hitch a rental car ride, along with eccentric, attractive Sarah Lewis (Sandra Bullock). As they continue the journey, it is slowly becoming obvious that they may have a thing for each other, and Ben is wondering if everything he has been through are signs that he shouldn't get married at all. In the end, he does eventually make it to the wedding, and after one or two delays and glitches in the event, he and Bridget do marry, and Ben just remembers Sarah as an influence or something to him, and hopes she is happy in her own life, which I guess she was, she has a son. Also starring Steve Zahn as Alan, Meet the Parents' Blythe Danner as Virginia, Total Recall's Ronny Cox as Hadley, Michael Fairman as Richard Holmes, Janet Carroll as Barbara Holmes and Volcano's Richard Schiff as Joe. Affleck and Buloock have done romantic stuff before, but they are not exactly best suited in this really average comedy with small giggles and an okay story. It isn't absolutely terrible, it just could have had a little more to offer. Okay!
