---|---|---|---|---|
"Charismatic leads, snazzy visuals and a pleasingly unpredictable plot (...) an extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road." | ||||
"Aside from the likable performers, Forces of Nature's greatest strength is that it flouts several established conventions of the genre | ||||
"A movie that leads us down the garden path of romance, only to abandon us by the compost heap of uplifting endings. And it's not even clever enough to give us the right happy ending." | ||||
"Works best as a ponderous metaphor for life's uncertainties. As a lighthearted comedy, the force, alas, is not with it." | ||||
"A so-so, OK, perfectably acceptable, nice, rather charming romantic comedy" | ||||
"Ultimately, 'Forces of Nature' is more of a lull than a passionate storm" | ||||
"The film shows off Ms. Bullock to amusing if overly frenetic advantage. It also leaves Mr. Affleck without enough of a Cary Grant aura to play his wimpier character with style." | ||||
"With Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck as star-crossed lovers, is the cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings" | ||||
"If you are misguided or otherwise unfortunate enough to see Forces of Nature, you will find yourself the next day with but one image, one memory, in your head: Sandra Bullock's teeth." | ||||
"An extremely likable vehicle with a genuine sense of fun." |
