Broken Bridges is simply an awesome, romantic, wonderful movie. I saw it at the premier screening and am anxiously awaiting for my copy. It was so pleasant to see a movie very well acted without the need of computer generated action scenes. It's a beautiful story, and Toby Keith has once again had the knack of surrounding himself with the best talent around. The soundtrack is simply amazing. I have never before had the pleasure of listening to music in a movie that so clearly fit the movie. Simply a real treasure to own.

They don't movies like this anymore...A great family movie!!! Something the whole family can enjoy. Toby Keith gives a stellar performance. I hope there will be a sequel to this "Awesome Movie!"...There's still alot left to tell in this Down to Earth, Real Life, Heart Warming Story. I give the movie two thumbs up...I would give more but I only have two thumbs to give...

I think it is a wonderful movie. I was there at the premiere in Nashville, Tn. I saw the red carpet with all the stars>Toby Keith, Kelly preston, and Lindsey Haun. After th movie Kelly Preston said that Toby is a great actor!! The movie was very moving and there was times it had you Crying and their was times when you would be laughing. It was one of the best movies that kept your interset at all times. It was just a wonderful story line to follow.

This is a great movie and Toby Keith proves that he can not only sing, but act also...this is one of those movies that you just keep watching over and over

I rented this one on a whim, and since I like Toby Keith, I figured at least the music would be good. What a surprise! The story is good, moving, and holds water. Toby is not bad at all as a father who has spent his life regretting his 'scared kid' decision to abandon his pregnant girlfriend. The girlfriend, Kelly Preston, hits just the right note as a daughter who never felt welcome enough to come back home, but worked hard to make a life for herself and her teenage daughter, Dixie. Lindsey Haun is just great as the kid. She's feisty and opinionated, but has been raised with manners and a healthy respect for her mom. Burt Reynolds does a great job as the grandfather who is stern and unrelenting in his disgust over his daughter running off and having her baby.
This movie was very well done and the music was good too. It evokes more of an emotional response than you would expect from something like this. We all loved it.

Great story line - brilliant music throughout! Toby Keith and Kelly Preston shine in this movie!

We hunkered down on a freezing Alaska evening with our two Greenland Huskies to watch this movie, and were warmed by the characters, flawed as some were at the start.
Tobey Keith is quietly effective as a man who deserted his pregnant wife, and now has an opportunity to try and reconcile years later.
He does a great job of trying, with a quiet dignity and lots of caring.
The real highlights revolve around music. His teenage daughter(upcoming star Lindsey Haun) has inherited his musical talent. He and his daughter sing and pick with Willie Nelson. Then in the best scene in the movie, father and daughter blend their punk rock and country backgrounds to compose a song that warms even the most hard-hearted members of the family, including the always somber father and grandfather, Burt Reynolds.
Gosh Burt, you've come a long way from the pure fun days of Smoky and the Bandit! Your single smile at the end was very welcome to your family, and your fans.
Check out this movie, and enjoy it with your family.

This movie is very moving. The storyline is set in a small southern town where everyone knows everyone. The music is also good. Kelly Preston shows that when we are young, we don't always make the right choices and it can affect many people. Toby Keith portrays his character very well but shows that anyone can change. Worth seeing alone or with someone special.

This is a great family movie, dealing with remorse for times past and forgiveness. Restoration of broken relationships. Very little profanity and no blatant sexuality. Loved it!!

I have watched this movie many times and always seem to catch something else that "speaks to me..." The music is excellent; Toby Keith and Lindsay Hahn are amazing together.
