Editorial Review:
In this bittersweet story about family, love and redemption, the death of a loved one brings fading country music star Bo Price (Toby Keith) back to his hometown where he is reunited with his childhood sweetheart (Kelly Preston) and meets his 16-year-old daughter for the first time. Can Bo mend the bridges that were broken when he up and left his home and loved ones for fame and fortune?
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:
Great Movie 
2009-10-17 - I loved this movie. I saw it while traveling overseas, and ordered it from Amazon to show to my wife and son when I got home. I can't watch most movies once, much less a second time, but when I got home I watched it with them and they loved it. Wish there were more of these being made today.
Toby Keith 
2009-09-01 - Pretty good first movie, got free tickets to see it or else i probaly would have waited to see it on dvd. The soundtrack is very good but the acting not so much. except for the girl in this movie she was amazing,great voice and she has a future in music and movies,if she wants it.

2009-02-16 - Thanks for the quick shipment! I love this movie and had seen it on tv on several occasions. I wanted my dad to see it and he really liked it as well. I think it is a good movie displaying life challeges as they really are. I love the song the daughter sings! I'm glad that I have the movie! I will watch it for years to come. It is a keeper that I don't mind watching over now and then.
