The best reason for seeing Forces of Nature --a sporadically funny but uneasily revisionist screwball comedy in which straight-arrow Ben Affleck is tempted from his imminent nuptials by free spirit Sandra Bullock and assorted natural disasters--is a scene in which the heartsick jock ex-boyfriend (David Strickland) of Affleck's fiancee (Maura Tierney) sings an a cappella version of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now)" into her ear in the middle of a party.
I was going to mention this scene anyway, as the picture's highlight; I dwell on it because word comes that the 28-year-old Strickland, a regular on the sitcom Suddenly Susan , has been found dead in Las Vegas, apparently having hanged himself.
The gesture is as embarrassing for the character as anything in EdTV or 20 Dates , but Strickland sings with such quavering soulfulness that the bit lifts up and floats out of the movie like a weird but beautiful balloon.
