This is a great movie and has a lot of laughs. Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck have perfect chemistry. One of my favorites!

3/5 force of nature--
  by Michelle Polk (Mississippi, USA)
Just didn't get the point of this movie. IT has sorry a ending. The story of an engaged man getting trapped with a woman that is a bit on the loony side. **spoiler** They end up getting together after trying very hard not to. They decide that they are meant to be together but only in the end separate!!

2/5 A complete mess!
  by ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Forces of Nature is probably my least favorite film of Sandra Bullock's career. There's nothing wrong with her performance, she is funny and brilliant as always but to me Ben Affleck's wooden acting ruined this so-so film. There are parts of this film I like and parts I do not. The film has a week premise and never takes float, the ending is disappointing and the writing is sloppy. If you want a great Sandra Bullock film then check out 28 Days or Practical Magic, leave this one on the shelf.

3/5 Good conversation piece
  by P. Vega (Washington DC)
I'll spare the plot summary since there are already 72 reviews as of this writing so I'll write on the jist of the movie. Remove all the unrealistic scenes and this movie is basically a good conversation piece for you and your lover (wife, girlfriend, whatever) because it has to do with choices in relationships. Yes, the movie will reflect the basic sentiment prevalent nowadays regarding marriage which is basically that a successful one is a crap shot. But for those who have been run over by that train before we all know that relationships are work.

So jumping from partner to partner when things don't go the way you thought or want them too and you decide that you're "not happy" just doesn't really work for the average person. All you end up doing is carry your emotional baggage to the next relationship as Sarah's character slowly unfolded. Bottom line is that Ben went through a classic infatuation episode but in the end he did the nobler thing.

If you think that marriage is going to be a perpetual dose of dopamine that will leave you elated and euphoric every day of your life then think again. You have to both make it work and keep reminding each other of what brung you together in the first place before the kids, in-laws, and career.

As for the best acting, Sandra Bullock took the prize. I enjoyed seeing her free spirited bohemian side. She basically made Ben look good.

Ironically enough though, this movie was done before the Beniffer drama - remember that? He basically had the "forces of nature" in the form of paparazzi to help him walk away from that one. Not exactly the same ending as in this movie.

2/5 when nature calls, you resond with FORCE
  by Jonathan D. Lindsley (fat cat, usa)
Do you remember when that woman in tie dye puts up her left leg in that one tide commercial??? That's EXACTLY what this whole movie is like. Sandra Bullock, as usual, put up a very strong performance, but Ben Affleck (who in this movie was KINDA HEAVY AND NOT TOO SWEET) was a weak point. But anyway, back to the Tide analogy. So in the commercial, the woman gives a little scream, sways back and forth, looks like she's going to be sick, and then instead pulls a rabbit out of the dryer. Just like this movie because it's not that good until the end, and then JUST LIKE A MAGIC TRICK it all works out in the end. Still overall, I would call this a weak movie that should best be avoided.... unless you use tide and love rabbits like ME!!!!!
