All in all, it really depends on if you're a fan of the two leads. I am, so I liked it.

Top CriticHere is the star vehicle that Sandra Bullock has been waiting for.

Make no mistake: This slackly paced picture doesn't gel. But it so consistently undermines the pastel-pretty conventions that currently rule the genre that some sneaky admiration is in order.
06/14/09
DreamWorks' first reprehensible fiasco.
06/14/09
The humour is genial and both Affleck and Bullock are easy on the eye, but the film itself ends up being little more than a storm in a teacup.
06/14/09
An extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road.
03/26/09
Top CriticBullock seems a bit too level-headed for a screwball, and the affable Affleck has no real chemistry with her or Tierney.
08/07/08
While far from a complete misfire, Forces of Nature remains simply too by-the-numbers to be particularly gratifying or worthwhile.
06/24/08
A bumbling and typically charmless latter-day studio screwball comedy.

It has all been done before, and better.

For the most part this film is not particularly funny or entertaining. The plot is, of course, predictable.

As soon as the co-stars become unlikely companions on a two-day trip to the South, a major problem crops up: no screen chemistry. They rarely click together, let alone sizzle.
05/20/03
Bullock seems to really be enjoying herself in this role, and Affleck is uncomfortable. I don’t know whether this is because his role dictates it or if it’s just a natural reaction, but it works.
02/08/03
Sandra Bullock is the good news about Forces of Nature. Her natural charm dances off the screen with giddy abandon. Unfortunately, the movie lets her down.
