Can Bo mend the bridges that were broken when he up and left his home and loved ones for fame and fortune? Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Outstanding!!!This movie is a great family movie. I was surprised to see Toby Keith can act. Not as good as he can sing but really good. Rating:  - Corny and PredicatablePotentially a good story. but, unfortunately this one was not put together well, extremely dull with poor transitioning--boring with a cliche redneck theme. The only reason I stuck it out to the end was to see the young girl sing; she gave an excellent performance. It seems all the other actors were asleep or in some kind of trance through the movie. Rating:  - The Big DawgThis was a pretty decent flick.I'm a Toby fan but he is not gonna win any oscars.A good family film. Rating: - Lindsey HaunI didn't think I would like this movie, as it's not the usual genre I enjoy. However, I must say that Lindsey Haun (as the rebellious daughter) stole the show. She turned in a marvelous performance that made this movie worth watching. Even if you don't like country music or feelgood/romance films, you should check this film out for her alone. Her song Broken - although billed as country - is excellent, and could easily cross over into rock/pop charts too. The song is also available for ...
