Broken Bridges, starring country superstar Toby Keith, is the Country Music Channel's debut entry into the world of feature films. Though it plays more like a televised movie of the week--complete with an opaque plot, much tears, and a happy ending--Broken Bridges is a guilty pleasure, thanks in large part to the surprising likeability (though not believability) of Keith. The tall singer plays Bo Price, a struggling musician who heads back to his small hometown for his younger brother's funeral. There, he runs into his high-school sweetheart Angela Dalton (Kelly Preston) and her teenage daughter Dixie (Lindsey Haun, daughter of Air Supply guitarist Jimmy Haun). It comes as no surprise to the viewer that Dixie is Bo's child--a daughter he never knew he had. Though she doesn't share her father's gruff personality, she did inherit his musical aptitude and stage presence. While Burt Reynolds chews up the scenery as Angela's father, Tess Harper--playing his wife--doesn't get much to do other than look worried. Look for BeBe Winans and Willie Nelson to make guest appearances as themselves. As for Bo and Angela? She makes a feeble attempt to resist her ex's charms by laying down the law. "I came out here to lay down the ground rules," she tells him. "Don't speak to my parents. Don't speak to Angela. And don't speak to me." Rules, of course, are meant to be broken, especially in feel-good movies such as this. --Jae-Ha Kim

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Movie, November 21, 2006

By	Bette A. Davis "TKIFC" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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.
