Metacritic reviews

Aside from the likable performers, Forces of Nature's greatest strength is that it flouts several established conventions of the genre.

An extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road.

Turns out to be an extremely likable vehicle with a genuine sense of fun.

The man (Affleck) is something of a force of nature himself, and it ain't pretty.

An arcade game disguised as a love story, nearly comatose with cute.

Make no mistake: This slackly paced picture doesn't gel.

A so-so, OK, perfectably acceptable, nice, rather charming romantic comedy with two stars who are entirely watchable.

All its desperate plot maneuvers (Ben and Sandra making like Tarzan on a train roof) can't give the film wit; all the slo-mo sleet, rain and confetti can't give it style. [March 22, 1999]

If you are misguided or otherwise unfortunate enough to see Forces of Nature, you will find yourself the next day with but one image, one memory, in your head: Sandra Bullock's teeth. [19 March 1999, Friday, p.A]

Monstrously offensive movie.
