Bounce Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Entertaining story of fate, alcoholism, and love.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
The script by Don Roos, who also directed, makes good use of the dramatic irony.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This touching, finely wrought bowl of suds is a seamless piece of work.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
So assiduously unsentimental that it comes off as cold and anemic -- and flat.
Film.com
Robert Horton
There's no way out of the excruciating melodrama, and the film withers in its trap.
Film.com
Moira MacDonald
It's just kind of boring.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Something is missing in Bounce, the muted dynamic of which calls forth a perhaps inevitably muted reaction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I wanted [Buddy and Abby] to become lovers, which means they sold me on themselves.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's a love story, yes, but one whose sweetness is cut by honest performances, a sharply drawn supporting cast and a fairly serious, yet never self-pitying, tone.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
About as moving as a month-old Kleenex.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
What a lingering, contrived, lukewarm mess this is.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The liveliest, loveliest drama of personal and romantic redemption since Jerry Maguire.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Roos' film is a misfire, but only just.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
Bounce makes the sale, even if you crinkle your nose as you buy it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Dramatic contrivances and manipulation stain a tissue-thin plot.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
By letting star power and commercial considerations warp good storytelling judgment, Roos has shortchanged his own movie, not to mention the audience.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
The time has come for unsparing truths: Has there ever been a duller Hollywood duo than Ben & Gwyn?
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Has a lot more ups than downs.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
To my taste, [Buddy and Abby] don't sync up. They're just not right for each other. I fretted for both of them, in a way that didn't serve the movie well.
Film.com
John Hartl
Resembles the compromised movies [Roos] used to write for the studios, though it's more like Boys on the Side than his dreaded rewrite of Diabolique.
