Summary: Best Movie of the Dacade
Review: Acting, plot, and script were absolutely superb. Better than Basic Instinct or Saving Private Ryan. Should have won dozens of Oscars. A must own for everyone.

Summary: GREAT CHEMISTRY!!!
Review: If you have read all the other reviews here, you already know what this movie is about. I think the chemistry between Affleck and Paltrow is amazing in it. I thought the film was kind of sad but it was a very good story. It wasn't a usual romance movie. It was a bit dark. The Ben Affleck character, Buddy, was sometimes hard to figure out. but maybe it's supposed to be that way. It was certainly engrossing enough for me to sit through to find out what would happen to Abby and Buddy. It's a film definitely worth renting. Just get out the kleenex...(just a few pieces)

Summary: Emotive Paltrow & the joys of DVD
Review: The plotline has been thoroughly detailed by previous reviewers, so we won't go there... The pleasant shock about this movie is the emotional range displayed by Gwyneth Paltrow. I recall reviews of her past movies (where one critic noted her crying scenes were tearless with a scrunched-up face, for example). As Paltrow has matured, she is able to bring to her characters and the screen fully-fleshed emotional characters, like Abby in Bounce...ranging from daft and ditzy to utterly destroyed onscreen. Paltrow is a marvel and I predict without hesitation that when her career is done, she will be remembered as one of the most outstanding in her generation. In another vein, it should be pointed out that the DVD package is a 2-disk set, the second has one of the most complete set of 'bonuses' I've seen in a DVD. The deleted scenes alone seem like an additional movie: among these were a poignant scene where Paltrow can't sleep and she ends up reading in the garage in the front seat of her late husband's covertible; several scenes with the kids which would have answered the critics who said they weren't convinced by Paltrow as a Valley mother; and an incredible outtake - the pivotal scene where Mimi (the girl in the airport lounge) and Abby view the video tape together. The changes in Paltrow's face during this scene are astonishing. For Affleck and Paltrow fans: also a gag reel of goofs and clowning; some nice moments with Affleck and Paltrow interviewing members of the production crew; and much more.

Summary: A poignant take on bouncing from LIFE's Disappointments
Review: BOUNCE, directed by Don Roos (The Opposite of Sex), marks a surprising turn to romance and even for the poignant take on surviving the pain of losing your beloved ones to fate. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Abby, who grapples with the agony of losing her husband Greg to a fateful aircrash. Never she expected that her husband had exchanged plane tickets with Buddy (played by Ben Affleck) who wanted a one-night stand with a newfound attraction Mimi (Natasha Henstridge). The romance aside, BOUNCE delves deeply into the characters' psyche - the isolation of Abby and how she saves a woman from her embarrassment with the toilet roll; Buddy recovering from guilt to bounce back with courage and direction to steer clear of his aimless life as a advertising executive. Among the cast, Paltrow shines luminously. She portrays Abby with grief and angst and her vulnerability is conveyed with her fragile frame. Affleck still needs polishing in his expression though. The bittersweet romance is tinged with genuine sadness and forgiveness and their chemistry is bolstered, perhaps from real life to reel life. BOUNCE is a movie that is more laudable for its honest and unpretentious take on demise and departure; its romance element is secondary. Finely acted by Paltrow, it is a movie that is worth your time even though some parts may be a little slow-moving.

Summary: The usual Story but that one's worth a shot!
Review: I really didn't expect too much of that movie, but it was really more than I thought it would be. It's a real "Feel-good-Movie" and I think it is a movie which you should see with your Girlfriend or Boyfriend. Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Patrow are a dream couple and they are two great actors. You really should see that movie; at least at theatres...

Summary: This movie was bad
Review: I don't know what people are thinking about when they give this movie five stars. After watching the trailer you would have known everything that happens in the movie except the last 10 minutes, which are easy to predict. The movie should have gone more into his alcoholism or deeper into her life after her husband died, so we would get to know the characters more. It seems they just put out a short film with big name stars they knew would make a buck. I don't think they ever intended this movie to be any good at all. It is a shame because both actors have a lot of potential. D

Summary: SOMBER ROMANCE
Review: While waiting in an airport, Buddy Amarol (Ben Affleck) meets Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn) a writer. The two men get to talking, and it becomes clear, Greg, wants to get home to see his wife, and kids. Buddy, scheming to have a one-night-stand with Mimi (Natasha Henstridge), also hanging around the airport, decides to be a "nice" guy, and give his plane ticket to Greg. Buddy is stirred out of sleep by sirens, he quickly turns on the television to find out the plane he was supposed to be on has crashed, killing all the passengers. Tormented by what has happened, Buddy turns to booze, eventually landing him in rehab. Once sober, Buddy sets out to meet Abby (Gwyneth Paltrow), the wife of Greg. After a brief stalking period, the two actually talk and begin falling in love. But all is not so perfect for this couple, as a videotape of Buddy and Greg at the airport surfaces, throwing Abby into a state of wonder, and confusion. "Bounce" is not the cute movie the trailer's depicted, but actually a dark love story, that is somewhat creepy. Affleck, and Paltrow are likable in their roles, and they do work well together, but it isn't enough to carry the whole movie. If there is nothing else to watch, "Bounce" will pass the time, but many will come away from the film disappointed. Nick Gonnella

Summary: "One Classy Flick"
Review: Although this doesn't star the Affleck I have grown to like so much, the Kevin Smith Affleck(which I do prefer), and a usually annoying Paltrow, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I guess you could say it's a Romance movie, the one thing I generally try to avoid, I loved this. Affleck certainly is a great actor, this is one great acting job, just below "Chasing Amy" and "the part he was born to play" in "Boiler Room". One thing I liked so much in this movie is the storyline. It's not a bull-$h!t story like most romance movies, it's actually got a good story that might actually happen as opposed to the crappy romance stories about horses and bridges in madison county. The start of the movie is very good. It starts off with Buddy(Affleck) and he's in an airport where he meets a "Foxy" blonde who fits perfectly into the one-night stand category. Along the way he meets a struggling play-write who joins them at a bar when their plane gets cancelled. After a few drinks, the three get talking, and Buddy takes out his video camera(the Sony DCR-PC100, which I have) and gets him and Greg, the play writer. When Greg tells Buddy his story about his family back home, and missing the holidays, Buddy gives him his ticket to another plane so he can be with his family. Buddy not only sees this as an act of kindness, but rather an easy way for that one night stand. So, off Greg goes, and Buddy takes his "lady" to the airport hotel... In the middle of the night, Buddy wakes up to loud sirens, and turns on the T.V. ...And the plane HE was supposed to be on crashed, and took all the passengers with it. Buddy goes into a slump, and becomes an alcholic after this mess, and when he eventually gets out of rehab, he goes to check up on Greg's wife... Abby. They get to talking, and he decides she should handle his company's office-hunting. The two find they have a lot in common, and Buddy not only falls in love with her, but her kids as well. Then one day, Abby gets a video(think Blonde, and video-camera). Guess what's on the tape? You got it. Buddy and Greg. The news crushes Abby, but she doesn't know what to think... have Greg and Buddy never have met, and have Buddy(a stranger to Abby) die, and never being able to meet and fall in love with Abby, or have it turn out the way it did... Although just by watching, you can tell that a significant amount of footage was cut-out, it's still a well-rounded movie with good acting to boot. If your looking for a good date movie, or feeling miserable about your own love life, this is definitely one to check out. I really liked this.
