Description of Broken Bridges:
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
Broken Bridges Reviews:
The Big Dawg 
2008-06-15 - This was a pretty decent flick.I'm a Toby fan but he is not gonna win any oscars.A good family film.
Lindsey Haun
2008-06-05 - I 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 download at iTunes.
Give me a break! 
2008-05-30 - I'm sorry, but Toby Keith can not act! Don't waste your time with this garbage.
Not for me
2008-05-04 - I just want everyone to know that I bought this for my mother. Don't want anyone to think I want this movie in any way. You couldn't pay me to watch this. It would easily classify as a MST3K experience for me. As a matter of fact there would be one way I would watch it and thats if the guys at MST3K did a send up. So there you go. By the way I didn't know Kelly Preston was that hard up for parts. By the way Toby Keith is a phony, If he cares so much for america you think he'd stop doing pot which is a bad influence on kids. And then there's all those songs about the troops, You'ld think he'd give some of those profits to Vet org like the dixie chicks do. But I guess he's too stoned.
Awsome
