Critics Consensus

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

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

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.

Josh Rosenblatt

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 1/5

Preston Jones

Slant Magazine

Broken Bridges is wrapped tight in the cloak of good intentions, soft-pedaling tired tripe about redemption, reconciliation, and finding solace in the bottle.

Rated: 1/4

The kind of trite material that seems better suited for the small screen than the big screen.

Rated: C

Film Journal International

An imperfect but emotionally true and often magnificently acted drama.

Denton Record-Chronicle

Soundtrack sales seem to be the main motivation behind this corny and cliched Southern melodrama that marks the film debut of country music star Toby Keith.

The audience reviews are much more accurate than the critics. Good cast, good message, strong family film. If you're a cynic by nature or don't appreciate our military and the families that support them, not for you.

A heartwarming movie of love and loss. Excellent military tribute to those that have been lost. The music throughout the movie is powerful.
