Bounce

Pros: Real-life lovers Paltrow and Affleck click well in a smart movie
Cons: I hope you like Diet Coke. It's in a lot of scenes.

Bounce means never having to say “I’m sorry I killed your husband.”

Actually, the rubbery qualities of this movie’s title refer to (I assume) rebounding romance, that brave spirit of picking yourself back up when your love life crumbles...

Pros: Johnny Galecki, a few touching moments
Cons: The plot

"Bounce". It’s just a movie. A quite typical, unimaginative, lazy movie. Its main characters are a bad guy and a good girl, and the main theme is romance/star crossed lovers/secrets/lies/get the girl/lose the girl/ all the usual crap. Not terribly...

Pros: Story, Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow
Cons: Predictable but enjoyable

Bounce is a movie about two people who find love with one another, but are headed for a collision course because of the lies they tell to one another. Ben Affleck stars as Buddy Amaral, an ad writer who is assigned to create a campaign for an...

Pros: acting, story, romance
Cons: a little predictable

Writer and Director Don Roos (who incidently wrote screenplay Marley and Me) created a romantic, tragic movie called Bounce in 2000.  Starring Ben Affleck as Buddy Amaral and Gwyneth Paltrow as Abby Jenello, Bounce tells the ...

Pros: Johnny Galecki
Cons: Ben Stays Mostly Dressed

Preamble
I'm hot for Ben Affleck. Next to JC (NSYNC), he's the other man I worship. I went to see this movie for one reason and one reason only - Ben.

Ah yes, there was another reason. I thought it would be a romantic...

Pros: Johnny Galecki's supporting role
Cons: Ben Affleck's lack of emotion

This was supposed to have been a watershed film for Ben Affleck, but sorry folks, as good as he is to look at, the man just can't carry a film. Even Gwyneth, try as she might, couldn't bail him out of this one.

I had seen Gwyneth Paltrow on...

Pros: Affleck and Paltrow again!
Cons: pretty predictable

Fate: The supposed power or force that predetermines events . (As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary ) It was fate that caused some people to cancel their reserved rooms on the Titanic right before it's fateful...

Pros: The cast was star studded.....that is about it!!
Cons: Another romantic comedy with a dramatic twist.

I was aware this movie was out on video for some time, but was afraid it would be like all the other romantic dramas. I unfortunately was right about my worse fear.

It was a Friday night and I had just picked up my Aunt Brenda for a fun...

Pros: Don't have too think too much; no nudity
Cons: Predictable; shallow character development

A friend I and ventured out into the cold this afternoon to see the movie "Bounce," starring former couple Gwenyth Paltrow and Ben Affleck. Without revealing too many details (there aren’t many surprises in this movie…so I refuse to...

Pros: A solid plot, good acting, believable cast.
Cons: Mushy, sappy.

Substance
This movie wasn't bad at all, in fact, I enjoyed it. I rented this film this weekend thinking it would be some hogwash love story between two real-life Hollywood on again-off again lovers (Ben Affleck and Gwen Paltrow), but I was...

Pros: A nice, happy ending...
Cons: Ben Affleck makes parts of this movie painful...

Ben Affleck. You know, I can't really remember a quality movie with this guy in it. I enjoyed Armageddon, I suppose, but that was more the performance of Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi than Ben Affleck. This movie was pretty dull, mostly because of Ben ...

Pros: Performances; somewhat original story
Cons: melodramatic; predictable; not funny enough

"Bounce" is the first movie to come along in a while that's actually set in the present day, is about real people really falling for each other. The problem is there's a secret between them, it's the film's niche but it becomes so overbearing at times ...

Pros: Understated rather than melodramatic. Near-perfect performances by Affleck and Paltrow
Cons: Nothing really new or original, but that's a faint criticism due to the excellent execution of the material.

Bounce is a special film that seemingly has no right to be. It’s not inventive, it offers nothing original, and its basis is even fantastical. But in a world where the standard romantic film unravels from its premise with various plot mechanics,...

Pros: Johnny Galecki's character
Cons: Ben Affleck's performance

The plot:
Ad exec Buddy Amaral (Ben Affleck) switches his plane ticket with writer Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn), a stranger he just met. This allows Greg to go home early to his wife and Buddy to have a one-night stand with a girl he just...

Pros: Paltrow
Cons: Most Everything Else

How perfect is this? Hollywood's favorite "are they? aren't they?" couple make a movie together! It will be perfect right? Wrong. It's too bad that both of these actors settled on such a weak script. It's too bad that only one of them is...
