Forces of Nature
Overview
Ben Holmes, a professional book-jacket blurbologist, is trying to get to Savannah for his wedding. He just barely catches the last plane, but a seagull flies into the engine as the plane is taking off. All later flights are cancelled because of an approaching hurricane, so he is forced to hitch a ride in a Geo Metro with an attractive but eccentric woman named Sara.

An extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
The cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh
A most pleasant and diverting venture.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
A romantic shaggy dog story, a movie that leads us down the garden path of romance, only to abandon us by the compost heap of uplifting endings. And it's not even clever enough to give us the right happy ending.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
