"Broken Bridges" is a 2006 film starring Toby Keith, Lindsey Haun, Burt Reynolds and Kelly Preston. The film, a music-drama, is centred on a fading country singer's return to his hometown near a military base in Kentucky where several young men who were killed in a training exercise on the base were from. He is reunited with his former sweetheart and estranged daughter, who return to the town as well.

Plot

Bo Price (Keith), a down-and-out country singer, has returned home for his brother's funeral following a military training accident. While there, he reunites with his true love, Angela Delton (Preston), a Miami news reporter who has also returned home for her brother's funeral. Bo also meets their 16-year-old daughter, Dixie Leigh Delton (Haun), for the first time. Since Bo walked away from Angela while she was still pregnant, Dixie has never met him or his side of the family. Dixie has experimented with alcohol, but is able to break free with the help of her now-sober father. With her father's musical blood running through her veins, Dixie closes the movie by singing a song she wrote at the memorial for the fallen soldiers.

Critical Reaction

Overall critical reaction was negative. [cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007366-broken_bridges/|title="Broken Bridges" filming criticisms|accessdate=2007-01-23] Most critics cited Toby Keith's wooden acting, as well as the blatant product placement by Keith's Sponsor Ford as major detriments to the film. The general negative consensus was reflected by the poor box office gross of $252,539 in four weeks of release.
