Forces of Nature wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Ben Affleck was good as usual with his delivery of thought provoking dialogue.. his character was good. Sandra Bullock was okay as a very misguided woman with a lot to straighten out in her life.

The plot was more or less a romantic twist to the Steve Martin and John Candy film Planes Trains and Automobiles. The unlikely pair are thrown together by a string of even more unlikely circumstances. The film has its good moments and its bad moments and a few very clever moments... and one or two pleasant plot twists.

It wouldn't be my first pick for a romantic comedy.. but individual tastes vary.

This was simply an adorable film with an awesome soundtrack! The characters are real, the dialogue was good the plot and directing was fresh and funny. Denzel Washington makes a very debonaire angel.. and Whitney Houston has the voice of an angel. The supporting cast and characters are all very good too, many of them turning in excellent comedic performances... the chubby bus driver and the church office secretary were great.

Penny Marshall did a great job with a super cast. It was fresh, romantic, touching and funny. My whole family just loved it.

For those of us who were "coming of age" in the '80's, dating, going to college, getting married... this movie has it all, and very accurately so! The soundtrack is great!

This is one of Val Kilmer's best movies and one of my favorite movies from this period. All the actors did an excellent job of bringing their characters to life and making them feel real, and 3-dimensional. Only the annoying villain is a little overboard. "Jordan" is believable.. even though she might seem extreme to some (if you ever went to a university or college like that or participated in a brain tank or physics program.. you would know that she isn't on the edge at all... believe me!).

The script is just great, fresh, zingy and funny. The sense of timing with the actors and the chemistry between them (and the physics) is just terrific.

Every time I see this movie, it brings back fond memories of dating, college, and the feeling that its "Good to be alive". I just love it!
