Plane crashes, pickpockets, hurricanes--heaven and hell is moving to prevent our able hero Ben (Ben Affleck) from marrying his sweetie (Maura Tierney) in Savannah. At every turn he runs into someone else despairing about the woes of married life. And of course, temptation proves overwhelming in the face of traveling companion Sarah (Sandra Bullock), the wild woman whom he can't seem--or doesn't want--to lose.p After a wayward bird flies into the engine of his airplane, Ben is forced to find another way to his wedding. He finds himself stuck with Sarah, whom he carried from the plane after she was whacked in the noggin by his laptop. The heat between them is unmistakable, and the drama in the film comes from the "will he or won't he," both in terms of sleeping with Sarah and meeting up with his bride. IForces of Nature/I is a fun and sentimental road-trip film, but Ben is such a strait-laced noodge, you can't help but want him to fall flat on his face just a little. Bullock is the life of this film, although her free-spirited ways get a bit tired (responsibility is not Iall/I bad). The highlight of this movie, though, is definitely the cinematography. The beautiful rain shots and the colors of the scenes lend to the unsettling mood. While the jokes are not rip-roaring, IForces/I is to be reckoned with for those times when a lighthearted film is what you need. I--Jenny Brown/I

 Good movie, mediocre DVD March 22, 2005
chanel_surfer (Canada)
Unlike those who would've liked Ben to end up with Sarah, I liked the ending (he was finally honest with himself about his fears, he overcame the obstacles to be with the one he loves). But I agree the ending was sudden - his inner struggle didn't come through clearly. pThe DVD isn't great - image isn't very high quality, and there's no commentary. But the deleted scenes and featurette are a nice brfeature.
Nice Movie About Unexpected Encounters! July 14, 2004

Just rewatched this movie, Forces of Nature late last night. Caught it on the big-screen when it was first shown couple of years back. I like this movie a lot. It's about two people whose lives are put on hold because of strange happenings one after another. And the whole experience led them to fall in and out of love, and ultimately reevaluate the people and things that mean most to them.pBen Affleck is likable in his vulnarable, clueless mode. Remember that this was pre-Pearl Harbor and pre-Beniffer. In fact, I like his acting in this movie and Chasing Amy a lot more than all the other box-office nonsense that he's in. Sandra Bullock is a little wilder and crazy in this movie but still shows her vulnarable side (isn't that why we love her?).
 No consequences? July 10, 2004
Forces of Nature starts out as a fun romantic comedy, but as much fun as it was to watch Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock have a good time, I couldn't help being disapointed with Ben Affleck's character. Both he and his fiancee, Maura Tierney were tempted to cheat on each other, except Ben's fiancee's conscience holds her back, while only timing holds back Ben. I felt bad for Maura Tierney's character. She trusted her fiancee and he let her down, and yet there was a happy ending for all. Well, all but those watching the film.
 One of sandra's best films. 16th april 2004. April 16, 2004
Kathryn Pointon (Staffordshire(England))
Ben affleck is one of my best actors, and so is sandra bullock. I really enjoyed this film,it was kind of funny on the aeroplane at the begginning of the film. The plane goes all wonky due to a bird flying into the fan of the plane. Ben hits sandra on the head with a laptop and it is so funny. It is quite unusual to other films and that was why i liked it really. HALF ROMANTIC AND BRILLLLLLLL FILM.
 More awful Ben Affleck February 3, 2004
K. J. Blake (Phoenix,AZ United States)
Ben cannot act. He drags down this film like every other one he has done since Goodwill Hunting. Sandy is interesting and vibrant and befuddled and confused- and she deserves a co-star who can match her.
