fmw-87209 I was well pleased with this chick flick. I will keep it with my other special movies!!! Toby Keith was awesome and actually the whole crew was awesome. I cried in a few scenes, this 85 y.o lady can still have emotions.

gremma The movie has rich characters, a good story, and is very well paced. Many times when a movie has great music it is to hide a dull script, not here, this music simply makes it a must see!Excellent character portrayal by Tobey Keith, Kelly Preston, and Lindsey Haun, who is a show stealer. Tess Harper is always just a joy to watch in almost anything she does and she doesn't disappoint here. The story follows Bo Price (Toby Keith,) a Country Singer, on his way down, who is called home when his brother, and 4 other boys from his hometown are killed in a training exercise in the Army. One of the boys is the brother of Bo's high school sweetheart, Angela (Kelly Preston) who was pregnant when he ran out on her. The funerals in the hometown bring the long lost lovers together and introduce father, Bo, to his daughter Dixie (Lindsey Haun), who is also a musician. Their stories are interesting and believable. Entertaining and love the music.

stoogedude I have seen many movies over the years, so I may be a little too discriminating. That said, Broken Bridges did not live up to my expectations. The writing wasn't the best. The directing wasn't the best. And the sound people should never work in Hollywood again.That's not to say that Toby Keith is a bad actor. Quite the contrary, he shows real potential, and I really hope to see him in other movies, hopefully movies that are better written and allow Toby to really show his acting chops. Toby said that while it may not seem like a stretch, he is really different from his character, and unlike the real life Toby, Bo is struggling with his career. Toby...you're a great singer, brilliant songwriter, outstanding performer...but this wasn't much of a stretch. A cop, a lawyer, a teacher, or even a biker allows you to try out your acting chops. Toby plays a country singer, and Toby is really a country singer. Toby Keith's character dresses like...Toby Keith. But Toby did give a good performance, so I applaud him for that.Lindsey Haun had better become a big star. She's beautiful, and shes a great singer and actress...a double WHAMMY! Her performance of Broken was one of the highlights of the movie. This wasn't a huge blockbuster film, but I hope it was big enough to get people to notice this great talent.The soundtrack was very good, I'll give it that. But I was expecting much more with this film. It's great that so many people on here like it. It just wasn't for me.

vswhite-2 My family went to the early release on 9/7 at a local Knoxville, TN, theater. I loved the movie and so did my family. We thought Toby and the rest of the cast did a great job. This movie contained an important message that would be beneficial to anyone who has ever made a bad decision which led one down a destructive path in their life. It also shows the importance of mending relationships with your family and friends while you still can. So many times, people believe that they can't change and that no matter what, your loved ones won't forgive your mistakes. This movie shows that you can go back and make amends. People can change. Sometimes it takes a tragedy, which is horrible, but often necessary. I was thoroughly disappointed that there didn't seem to be any print advertisement of the movie. I'm sure that there was a limited amount of money for advertising; but, there was nothing in my newspaper at all. If I did not belong to Toby's fan club, I would not have known that the movie was being released. This movie deserved more advertisement than it received. Great job Toby, from a loyal fan.
