Critics Consensus

A cliched attempt at a feel-good drama, Broken Bridges is schmaltzy, predictable, and stiffly acted.

Country star Toby Keith makes his acting debut in this rickety heartland drama, which was produced by Country Music Television and panders shamelessly to the traditional-values crowd. Go to Full Review Josh Rosenblatt Austin Chronicle 09/23/2006
1/5
Director Goldmann, who cut his teeth directing videos for Shania Twain and Faith Hill, never misses a chance to punch-up an emotional scene with a contrived, heart-melting music performance by one or more of his stars. Go to Full Review Joe Leydon Variety 09/22/2006
It's obviously intended as a star vehicle, but Broken Bridges turns out to be a rattletrap jalopy for country music performer Toby Keith. Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary FulvueDrive-in.com 04/01/2007

Claudio C @Claudio666 Oct 27 Broken Bridges (2006) A Very Nice and Sweet Film (12,019 – 27 Oct 2025– by Claudio Carvalho) When a helicopter crashes during military training, five youths from Armour Springs die. In Miami, the journalist and single mother Angela “Angel” Delton (“Kelly Preston”) learns that her younger brother Bobby is among the casualties and returns to her hometown with her teenage daughter Dixie Leigh Delton (Lindsey Haun) by car to the house of the estranged parents. On the arrival, she learns that her mother invited her former boyfriend Bo Price (Toby Keith), who lost his brother Kyle, to stay at her home for the funeral, Bo is Dixie’s father, who left Angela pregnant when they were sweethearts and now is a famous singer of music country. The music in the vein of Bo and Dixie and the endearment of Dixie Rose Delton (Tess Harper) help to bring reconciliation in the family. “Broken Bridges” (2006) is a very nice and sweet film by Steven Goldmann. The story is very well developed, with nice characters. The cast is wonderful, with names such as Kelly Preston, Tess Harper, Lindsey Haun and Burt Reynolds. But the amazing country music in the soundtrack has names such as Willie Nelson and Toby Keith and is the greatest attraction of the movie.My vote is eight.
