  • Forces of Nature -- Lackluster romantic comedy in which a wedding-bound bridegroom (Ben Affleck) finds himself drawn to a free-spirited traveling companion (Sandra Bullock) after a plane mishap forces them to continue on by train, bus and car. As directed by Bronwen Hughes, an appealing cast gives the loopy proceedings some bounce but it fails to achieve its intended screwball-comedy status. Fleeting violence, sexual situations and references, occasional profanity and an instance of rough language. (A-III) (PG-13) ( 1999 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
