Synopsis

Ben (Ben Affleck) has two days to get from New York to Savannah, Georgia for his wedding to Bridget Cahill (Maura Tierney). Everything is running smoothly until his plane skids off the runway. Ben inadvertently saves the life of his seatmate, Sarah (Sandra Bullock), who becomes his companion for the longest two days of his life. As fate begins to repeat itself through a series of disasters involving a rental car, a train, and a bus (not to mention a hurricane), Ben has to wonder if someone's trying to give him a message. Inevitably, he also finds himself falling in love with Sarah. Meanwhile, Bridget wonders where, exactly, Ben is, and her old boyfriend Steve (David Strickland) attempts to take advantage of the situation. Not that Bridget's dad (Ronny Cox) really minds, since Steve is much more successful than Ben. En route, Ben and Sarah collide with Ben's best man, Alan (Steve Zahn) and his girlfriend, the maid of honor (Meredith Scott Lynn), which further adds to the series of cosmic tests that Ben must try to answer. ~ Ron Wells, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

Bronwen Hughes' romantic comedy Forces of Nature comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental features include a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes, a theatrical trailer, production notes, and biographies of the cast and filmmakers. This is a standard disc for a film that garnered little attention upon its initial release to theaters. Fans of Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck will be interested in this disc, but not many others. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

This was a ok movie.
I was disappointed in the movie half way through.
The plot isn't very strong.
The characters do well togather.
But it a little borring.

Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck are great together in this movie. Through a series of unfortunate traveling events they find themselves in several unlikely but hilarious scenes as they try to make their way from New York to Savannah, Georgia within a limited time period. Along the way they both learn something from each other;, he to be more relaxed and have fun with life, her to stand and fight for the relationship she prizes the most. Both men and women will find something to enjoy in this movie.
