In this race to get to Savannah to get married to the women he loves Ben encounters a series of wild and unpredictable events that could only happen in the movies...

In Ben's stag night from hell where everything he did not want happened, including his grandfather who, while partying the night away, and having the time of his life ended up in intensive care. It was because of this is fiancée Bridget went on ahead to Savannah leaving Ben to join her later.

Ben is all ready and sitting nervously in his seat when his traveling companion appears, Sarah a very lively and scatty woman. Then his worst nightmare (or so he thinks) comes true the plane crashes on the runway. From this point on his life becomes a series of disasters starting with hiring a car he not only has to share with Sarah but a weirdo too. They finally get out of one situation only to find themselves in another one all the time Ben is trying to part from Sarah and never quite managing it, the question then becomes how much is he really enjoying her company? And how will it all end?

The next twist has Ben in desperate straits and needing money.   Its how Ben gets out of this is amusing. Sarah has this idea which he goes along with until he realises what he has let himself in for! Lets just say it's a strip joint with a difference.

After all this does Ben get to Savannah and Does he Marry Bridget? For the answers you will have to see the film.

All in all forces of nature is a little slow at times but entertaining never the less we give it     6.5/10
