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
The cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.

Top CriticExcept for the continuous onslaught of disasters, some of which are genuinely funny, there is really not a whole lot going on here.

Forces of Nature isn't awful. It is just miscast. If Ben was being lured by someone more tempting, like Melanie Griffith in Wild Thing, say, it would have had more of an edge.
02/14/01
A most pleasant and diverting venture.

Top CriticA movie that starts out with very few good ideas, but then takes those ideas and makes every wrong choice possible right up to the ghastly, confused ending.
01/01/01
Affleck and Bullock merely seem to be spouting lines at each other. Both have done better.
01/01/00
Credit the director, relative newcomer Hughes, the writer, and the entire cast, particularly Steve Zahn as the best man, for keeping Forces of Nature from careening into unabashed sentimentalism.
01/01/00
Bullock's performance is one of the best of her career, avoiding the 'nice girl' image for something far more challenging and interesting. She's smart and assertive, colourful and troubled.
01/01/00
Forces of Nature gets by, barely, due to its well-cast leads.
01/01/00
A shameless two-hour trip of lousy character interaction, daisy-head romance, anti-conclusions and disconnected human logic.
01/01/00
If Bullock and Affleck had any more chemistry, we might have witnessed spontaneous combustion onscreen.
01/01/00
Thanks to fine performances from the uniformly strong cast, a surprisingly smart, unpredictable plot and some jazzy visuals, Forces of Nature overcomes pacing problems to emerge a winner.
01/01/00
I suggest a detour around Forces of Nature until its arrival on home video.
01/01/00
Cute. Chick movie, but cute.
01/01/00
As she demonstrates in Forces of Nature, [Bullock] is a much more versatile, capable and entertaining actress than she's been given credit for.
01/01/00
A movie that obviously aspires to screwball status while trampling on the irrepressible female freedom that defines the genre.
01/01/00
Sitcom that this picture may be, it never fails to entertain thanks to the fortuitous pairing of Ben Affleck, a master at appearing goofy, and Sandra Bullock, a powerhouse of womanly stamina.
