Critics Consensus

A cliched attempt at a feel-good drama, Broken Bridges is schmaltzy, predictable, and stiffly acted.

Country star Toby Keith makes his acting debut in this rickety heartland drama, which was produced by Country Music Television and panders shamelessly to the traditional-values crowd.

1/5

Director Goldmann, who cut his teeth directing videos for Shania Twain and Faith Hill, never misses a chance to punch-up an emotional scene with a contrived, heart-melting music performance by one or more of his stars.

It's obviously intended as a star vehicle, but Broken Bridges turns out to be a rattletrap jalopy for country music performer Toby Keith.

The kind of trite material that seems better suited for the small screen than the big screen.

An imperfect but emotionally true and often magnificently acted drama.

Soundtrack sales seem to be the main motivation behind this corny and cliched Southern melodrama that marks the film debut of country music star Toby Keith.

Broken Bridges (2006) A Very Nice and Sweet Film (12,019 – 27 Oct 2025– by Claudio Carvalho) When a helicopter crashes during military training, five youths from Armour Springs die. In Miami, the journalist and single mother Angela “Angel” Delton (“Kelly Preston”) learns that her younger brother Bobby is among the casualties and returns to her hometown with her teenage daughter Dixie Leigh Delton (Lindsey Haun) by car to the house of the estranged parents. On the arrival, she learns that her mother invited her former boyfriend Bo Price (Toby Keith), who lost his brother Kyle, to stay at her home for the funeral, Bo is Dixie’s father, who left Angela pregnant when they were sweethearts and now is a famous singer of music country. The music in the vein of Bo and Dixie and the endearment of Dixie Rose Delton (Tess Harper) help to bring reconciliation in the family. “Broken Bridges” (2006) is a very nice and sweet film by Steven Goldmann. The story is very well developed, with nice characters. The cast is wonderful, with names such as Kelly Preston, Tess Harper, Lindsey Haun and Burt Reynolds. But the amazing country music in the soundtrack has names such as Willie Nelson and Toby Keith and is the greatest attraction of the movie.My vote is eight.

The audience reviews are much more accurate than the critics. Good cast, good message, strong family film. If you're a cynic by nature or don't appreciate our military and the families that support them, not for you.

A heartwarming movie of love and loss. Excellent military tribute to those that have been lost. The music throughout the movie is powerful.
