The Bounce Back

shitt💩💩💩💩

I love romantic comedies but this one was really neutral for me. It was fun but not anything else. We have a good scenario here which I think wasn't really exploited. There wasn't any alchemy between the characters, I couldn't feel it. There wasn't the seduction, the spicyness of a fresh relationship so, it was a little bit boring. What misses here is movement. Something noticeable. And also, some advices about the bounce back book that could've been really enjoyable as in the movie "Think like a man". So my final opinion is : this is a good movie to enjoy during a sunday evening but don't wait to be in love with the movie,

I admittedly am biased in favor of Shemar Moore! That being said, I found this movie at a perfect time when I was going through a breakup. It made me have hope again and for that I give it a high-ranking. Maybe had I seen this movie at another time it wouldn't have had such an impact on me. Definitely recommend for someone who might be losing hope after break-up. It might just give you that little bit of movie magic that you need to keep going.

I didn't like the movie. The female lead was so unlikable. Ugh. She was so unpleasant. I couldn't empathize with her or care about her at all. Incompetent, too. If that's a psychologist, I'm an astronaut. The hysterical screaming got on my nerves. During their "debates" I actually fast forwarded because her rants were so unpleasant. The writing should have made her more likable. And they should have hired a better actress. This actress can't act. Her character is flat as cardboard. Her "vulnerability" didn't touch me, she just came across irritating. The mandatory sex scene evvvvvery Hollywood movie has - insert rolleyes - also made me cringe and fast forward. Why oh why does every Hollywood movie have a sex scene in it? Yawn. It's getting really boring. In some cases, it's important to show it for the plot, but in cases like this here, you can just show them waking up next to each other with happy smiles on their faces the next morning, and we'll get it. The whole thing was boring, annoying, and pointless. I wasn't inspired by it. I actually quit a few minutes before the end, when she screams hysterically and runs him over with the car, I was like, okay that's it, I've had enough of her, and I switched it off. Predictable as the plot was, I'm sure I didn't miss much. Two stars for the kid, who was the only bright sunshine in the movie. Too bad it's not a real book, though! I would have bought it lol.

This was funny, nice and well done. Very cute. A cool comedic romantic watch. Velasquez is HOT!!! Woe

I just thought..I would love to see a movie -rom-com with people of color!! Not the assistant being of color!! Full leads in color!! And then I tapped on Bounce Back!! We need more like this!! No yelling or beating or guns!! Just a wonderful love story!! And Shemar and Nadine connected so lovely in this story about old and new relationships looking from within to get over and move on!! Awesome music!! I REALLY would like more of this kind of movie!! ( And I'm a white Senior 😉)Love love the energy and spiritual connection these two seemed to have on camera!! Love story well told and acted!!!

I loved the ROMANCE/COMEDY in this MOVIE, By the way she's Puerto Rican 😍

I don't even know where to start. I saw the film about a week ago and thought of writing a review right after but thought I'd be too harsh so I waited in hopes to feel more positive about it. I don't. I can't say there was anything in the movie that I liked. Maybe the daughter character/actress. She was the most sincere thing in it. Now onto the things I didn't like, aka basically the whole thing. 1. I feel like this was made just to show off Moore's abs. Like, he is likable to me and he's handsome in a way but please!!! enough with the ab talk and how gorgeous he is. It would have been just as dumb if they had put in a fake boobed woman and then throughout the film keep mentioning how amazing her tatas are. So it was basically like a * movie without the sex. No story, just showing off a person's body and heavily foucsing on mentioning how hot they are without any point to it whatsoever. 2. The lead female character was so unlikable. She was an angry mess and should never go anywhere near psychology or patients in need of psychotherapy. She can drive you insane all on her own. She was just nasty, unpleasant, unlikable, unstable, erratic... just horrible. There was no way to connect to her at all. She was made to look un-connectable too. Just a cute face or something. A nasty cute face character. 3. Now I don't exactly know what pills she took when she was about to get it on with the lead male but that's when I really lost hope for the film. They looked to be meds not illicit drugs and the ignorance was unbearable in the bed scene while she was drugged. You in no way shape or form start acting drunk when on those kinda meds and you never have a hangover/amnesia type of thing aftwerwards. It was so embarrassingly ignorant. It's horrifying how the writers, director and actress herself didn't know about this kind of thing. No research of any kind. It takes away from the credibility, depth and essence of the film. It's just random nothingness. 4. The film was just so shallow, mostly cause it was focusing heavily on Moore's appearance, it was impossible to connect to it emotionally. It was just showy. Showing off abs. How can one make a real emotional connection with abs!? 5.The girlfriends in the film were just useless characters. No depth no anything. 6. Moore's sad faces didn't really work that well either cause they were over shadowed by his abs. 7. Moore's speeches about love and life didn't work either cause they were over shadowed by everyone ooh'ing and aah'ing over his abs. 8. Okay, one little thing that was almost good was the rib bar scene where they owned each other with their agendas. If the whole film had been of the same level of that scene it would have been "fine" but right now, everything else was so much weaker. 9. The male lead's friend was supposed to be the comedic part I guess. The guy had potential and he peaked within the low standards of the film. I'd definitely watch him in something good. All the other characters were so empty and forgettable, the friend too but he stood out a little. All in all, a waste of resources. Everyone who wasn't part of writing this thing, I feel bad for cause I know I wouldn't want this poor thing attached to my CV. I hope they can all do better than this. I'd give it a 1 but for the daughter and friend character, I'll give both of them half a point so the total is 2 stars.

you can literally feel the cast struggling (with their d-rate talent) to grab at the strings of what should be the script. Characters pop-up everywhere and anywhere even when them being there makes no sense at all, the scenes (while trying not to be) are whiny and preachy and even the actors cannot seem to commit to the delivery of the insipid lines they are reading. On one end the film is saying therapy has no purpose but you're letting a life coach tell you what to do, on another end you're saying life coaching serves no real purpose but you're letting your vapid friends tell you what to do. This film has no real mission and therefore the only logical moral to any of the tales it tells is to solve your own life issues as you see fit, preferable without the help of this POS excuse for a film.

I actually enjoyed looking at all these beautiful people. And Bill was quite refreshing!
