DreamWorks takes a rather uninteresting plotline and makes a movie that moves around it.

Reviews for Forces of Nature
For the most part this film is not particularly funny or entertaining. The plot is, of course, predictable.

Interesante desde el punto de vista de cuestionar el tipo de afecto y de relaciones que tenemos con nuestros seres queridos y con nosotros mismos
01/01/00
Affleck is as appealing as usual. Bullock, following a series of ill-advised career choices, is back in top form.

Top CriticSandra Bullock gives the best performance of her career as an droll, carpe diem kind of girl, living life by the seat of her pants as a way of denying her damaged-goods background of hard knocks that she can't seem to shake.
01/01/00
Affleck and Bullock merely seem to be spouting lines at each other. Both have done better.
01/01/00
Relationships are always leaps of faith requiring only a courageous heart and a commitment to the beloved that goes beyond either rhyme or reason.
03/04/02
If Bullock and Affleck had any more chemistry, we might have witnessed spontaneous combustion onscreen.
01/01/00
Except for the continuous onslaught of disasters, some of which are genuinely funny, there is really not a whole lot going on here.
03/12/01
Cute. Chick movie, but cute.
01/01/00
It has all been done before, and better.
04/09/05
DreamWorks' first reprehensible fiasco.
06/14/09
Top CriticNever quite generates enough power to become sweep up the audience like the long-brewing hurricane that hits at the film's climax.
01/01/00
A romantic shaggy dog story, 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.
01/01/00
Top Critic[Affleck is] too sturdy and sated. And you can't have screwball comedy if only one party desperately wants to screw.
01/01/00
Top CriticA movie that obviously aspires to screwball status while trampling on the irrepressible female freedom that defines the genre.
01/01/00
Top CriticAll in all, it really depends on if you're a fan of the two leads. I am, so I liked it.
01/15/08
A likable romantic comedy that's bolstered by the fresh and sassy performances of Affleck and Bullock.
01/01/00
Sandra Bullock shines in this frenetic road comedy/love story about the shared adventures of two unlikely people thrown together on a cross-country trip.
01/01/00
Forces of Nature gets by, barely, due to its well-cast leads.
