As
I sat through this quirky romantic comedy, I had a hard time figuring out the
point. Surprisingly, by the final reel, I got it.
Ben
Affleck (Armageddon) and Sandra Bullock (Speed) play complete opposites who find
themselves fatefully thrown together in an attempt to get to Savannah, Georgia
for Affleck's wedding. As expected, it's a long ride. Although there isn't a lot
of heat between Affleck and Bullock, they're still extremely likable.
The
film won me over because of its admirable effort at steering clear of the numerous
romantic comedy cliches we've seen time and again. I also enjoyed its unpredictable
climax--one that rang quite true.
Forces
of Nature is one of those films that took time to get into, but after a while
I really started to enjoy it. It's a whimsical road movie that might be worth
checking out.
