After debuting with the charming but forgettable family flick Harriet the Spy, director Bronwen Hughes proved herself to be a director not really worth watching by taking a stab at this cliché, opposites-attract romantic comedy. Forces of Nature doesn't offer up anything new to the ubiquitous genre, with the male protagonist trying to get to his wedding to marry the woman who is almost perfect, but just seems to be missing something, when along comes the fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants, slightly eccentric woman who "changes everything." From there, the movie tries to become a sort of romantic Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but falls short of capturing any of the good qualities that that film so effortlessly pulls off. But many romantic comedies work quite well, despite the familiarity of their story lines, because they feature a likeable, charming couple. Because of this, the majority of the blame for Forces of Nature's downfall should probably be pinned on Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock. Not only do they have no onscreen chemistry, but they were just plain miscast in the roles. Unless pressed for time and in need of a headache, one would be advised to pass this one up and instead take in a double feature of My Best Friend's Wedding and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Ben Holmes, a pretty regular guy, is on his way to his wedding. A little accident hinders the takeoff, and soon Ben finds himself in a third person's rental car together with eccentric but attractive Sarah. Several catastrophic incidents later, the two are thought to be a married couple and run into Ben's best friend and his girlfriend, who happens to be the bride's best friend. Now, Ben and Sarah have to face the problem that they really might be made for each other, but they also might just be panicking about the upcoming events: His marriage and her first meeting with a special person. This movie is very entertaining and not particularly predictable. There's good acting, lots of interesting developments, and a very good story. A nice movie, with enough humour and charm to entertain.
I'd seen this movie years ago (about 8 years ago or so) and decided to check it out again. The movie talks primarily about marriage a lot of the things to consider about it. Of course, this movie probably was never intended to be a replacement to a marriage counselor, or if you're having a hard time deciding if you should marry your fiancee, this movie should probably not be your guide to making a good decision. The philosophy in the movie follows the drama and storyline typical of a hollywood tale. The humor in the movie in unbelievable. Very funny indeed! Acting is good, but definitely one of Ben Stiller's not-so-great ones. Sandra Bullock does a real nice job, though, as do most other actors in the movie. My favorite thing about this movie, though, is the cinematography. Very clever, unusual, and unique angles and transitions. Great movie, makes for a good gift or an addition to a personal movie collection. Great price, too, since the quality of the dvd and its features are just as good as any nowadays, even though the movie in from last century, back in the 1900's when humans thought they could make dvd's...Read full review
Forces of Nature is one of the great comedies I have watched. Their is a great chemistry between Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock and they are absolutely hilarious together in this movie. I would highly recommend this movie and will watch it over and over again. With everything that is going on around in this world, one can enjoy this great comedy and a good laugh.
