Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

hyped garbage

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A man switches plane tickets with another man who dies in that plane in a crash. The man falls in love with the deceased one's wife. Bounce is one of the early Ben Affleck movies where he shows that he can act because in my opinion he is a very underrated actor he went from Gigli to be Batman in his best performance ever. Now in this movie he fells in love with Gwyneth Paltrow who lost her husband on a plane crush. The only problem i found with this film was the pacing other than that it was a great love story for this 2 people but also good on it's dramatic parts. Not Affleck's best movie but definitely better than Gigli and the overrated Gone Girl which sucked. Check it out it might surprise you.

I didn't have the intention to watch this movie even though I'm a fan of Mrs. Paltrow.So I watched this unintentionally on a cold Tuesday morning. specifically at 9:00. I didn't regret.The movie deals with a huge natural tragedy that nobody could prevent from happening, and many events will focus around it including a love story, parenting, alcoholism, rehab, difficult job decisions, etc."Bound" is overall a great romantic comedy with a dramatic plot center so in my opinion this is a very clever romantic film.The performances are very good. I'm surprised with Affleck's performance; he does it very well as the depressed but successful young man. His facial expressions when talking about Greg's death are really convincing and help the movie's tone.Gwyneth Paltrow is as beautiful as ever and delivers a tender performance. I dug her dramatic moments, specially when she had to explain her sons about their dad's demise.I highly recommend this intelligent movie for those who like romantic drams.

I thought this film was a good effort. The exceedingly predictable ending did not impair the film.Gwyneth Paltrow was stunningly good in her role as 'Abby Janelo'. She appeared as herself with natural brown hair and no makeup. Most actresses would be too vain for this. I still remember a closeup of Raquel Welch in 'One Million B.C.'. She was playing a cave woman with enough eyeliner and lip gloss to stock a cosmetics counter. Anyway, Gwyneth's look was entirely convincing for a harried single working mother.Ben Affleck did alright as the bad 'Buddy' of the film's beginning, but didn't sell me as the remorseful 'Buddy' trying to do better and hold on to 'Abby'. Ben and Gwyneth had decent chemistry together, so that aspect held up for the length of the film. Ben had slightly less chemistry with the two child actors playing 'Abby's' children. His attachment to them was never quite credible.The director deleted some great material from the film. The scene where 'Mimi' and 'Abby' view the video tape from the Chicago airport meeting of 'Greg', 'Buddy', and 'Mimi' was too powerful to lose. The scene made 'Abby's' rejection of 'Buddy' much more credible.The deleted scene where 'Buddy' meets 'Janice' in Chicago right before they both testify in the trial was profound. 'Buddy' has tried to redeem himself by helping 'Abby', but he has destroyed 'Janice' by convincing her to board 'Greg' in violation of airline rules. 'Janice' faces ruin of her whole life as a result of accommodating 'Buddy'. The scene was deleted to make 'Buddy' a more sympathetic character before the end of the movie. Jennifer Grey gave an outstanding performance here only to have it cut from the final version of the film.Still, the film gives a glimpse of the effect our choices can have on the lives of people we may well never meet. Despite the weak spots, the film held together. Perhaps a directors cut of the film with the choicest deleted scenes reinstated will be issued.

Why, why, why did Jennifer Grey have to go and get a nose job? I hardly recognized her in this movie. IMHO, she looked rather attractive just the way she was.OK, having got that off my chest, I am one of those who like Bounce, despite Affleck's limitations as an actor and the somewhat predictable plot. A bittersweet, tender romance movie is not really meant to move mountains artistically, nor should it be expected to. But this one does draw you in, emotionally, for better or for worse. Case in point: Look at all the IMDb comments posted on it! And as for those who would have liked more sizzle in the romance between Affleck and Paltrow, remember, this is a film that also has the death of Abby's husband as its constant backdrop, hence, the film's rather understated treatment of their romance, I think.
