Have you ever felt disgusted with yourself, thinking that you're an awful person? If yes, then you can relate to Bounce. Bounce is a sentimental look at the ways we deal with ourselves. Ben Affleck gives probably one of his most powerfully touching performances as an ad exec who realizes what he's become when the plane he was supposed to be on (but gave the ticket away) goes down. He spins in a downward spiral of alcohol abuse, and while recovering decides to contact the wife of the man who took his seat on the doomed plane. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a widow who blames herself for her husband's death. The chemistry between Affleck and Paltrow is phenomenal. Some could argue that the movie is slow at times, but I believe the pace allows you to sense the character's thoughts throughout. There are some really cute moments in the film, sure to get a good laugh. All in all, it's worth the eight bucks for a ticket.

If you like watching Ben Affleck pretend to act then this is another movie for you. He is the Keanu of the 00's, and I have no doubt that in about ten years he will be a very good actor. But for now, he is not. This film has a good premise and will always be compared to the other movie that came out recently, Random Hearts. Compared to that film, this one is not worth renting. Even when you accept that this is a "chick flick", and you try to put your heart behind the story, it has one of the worst nothing endings in movie history. SPOILER: He begs her not to leave by pretending to offer her another real estate job? He can't say I love you? And that is the accepted ending? 4 out of 10 because the kids were very good in this one.

BOUNCE is the perfect drama perfectly set for a dramatic family or just to enjoy! Ben, Gwyneth, Natasha & Tony put on a perfect performance Its a story of fate Buddy(AFFLECK) meets Greg(GOLDWYN) at an airport they swap boarding passes and flight 82, the flight Buddy is supposed to be on crashes. Buddy is a drunk by the way!. Then Buddy meets Abby(PALTROW) at a open property and he falls for her and he comes emotionally and proffesionally involved with Abby it is great! its a must see movie!

I too was kind of shocked at all the negative responses! I thought this movie was great!! I will definately watch it again and again. Someone said that it is just like all the other movies...well you can only do so much with endings and the whole movie itself. I am quite sure it is hard these days to come up with a unique movie plot. I for one was very happy with this movie, and I gave it a 10.

Just saw this movie and cannot believe the glowing reviews. What were people thinking? This is a Gigli..... insipid acting by both Affleck and Paltrow. Stupid plot. BAD acting. Bad weave on Paltrow. Sorry JLo fans but Affleck can't act his way out of a paper bag and I'm beginning to believe the same of Paltrow. Does anyone else see this movie as complete babbling bobbling b_crap?

This film magically transported me to another time and place, namely post-John Hughes Chicago, which evoked many fond childhood memories. But growing up among a heard of nurturing gazelles in the desert Southwest was a cakewalk compared to this. Don Roos certainly has a future in filmmaking! The plot cleverly steers us through the torment of aviational blunders, alcoholic opportunism, botched abortions, and some very bad acting. I especially loved the scene where Ben Affleck's character walks out of rehab with his chin held high and a chip on his shoulder, each arm around a handsome young girl. The chemistry betwixt Ben and Gwynneth is indescribable -- I had to take a laxative and watch the film all over again to fully enjoy it. Needless to say, this masterpiece had me bouncing off the walls! Thank you for this movie!

"Bounce" has one of those convaluted plots that is meant to mask the stupidity of the whole enterprise. I'm sure that, at one point, there was a good script here. I think that may be the script that Affleck and Paltrow read. But what is translated on screen is pure schmaltz. Was "Guiding Light" needy for a story string? This movie would have played plausibly as 3pm entertainment when an adult is home sick and not wanting to watch courtroom drama. I care nothing about these characters; the plot is so contrived as to be soap operaish and the performances are sub-par. There are so many more valuable ways to spend an hour and a half, even watching a movie. Just don't watch this one.

I am a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow but I did not expect BOUNCE to be a great movie as it had too much of the "Hollywood" touch: two beautiful people (Ben and Gwyneth) who used to date in a romantic comedy - PPLLLEEAASSEEE! However it was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I needed a feel-good movie so Bounce it was. I can honestly say that everyone in this movie did a great job - the acting was so human and real. This is indeed a pleasant surprise... maybe still a chic-flick, but a good one! Think twice before dissing this movie - it is touching and tender without being soppy ;)

What was worse? The acting? The complete lack of heat between supposed super couple (or former, can't keep up) Affleck and Paltrow (anyone else notice him avert his eyes when she took off her shirt?), the lame script (um, was the alcoholism at all necessary for the plot? Think about it writers), the editing? the clothing? The plot might have been enjoyable with better writing. The only decent thing in the movie was Johnny Galecki, but unfortunately that character was a caricature that could have been made useful to the plot, but wasn't.
