Too much of everything
A lot of fun.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Coach Roy (Lawrence) once was college basketball's top mastermind. But when his temper raises the limits he is banned from college basketball, his only coaching offer comes from a junior high school. This was his old junior high school, where he played a lot of basketball and won many state championships. The Smelters is what the team is called, and they never won a single basketball game ever, but with Coach Roy's help, they're sure that it will change.I'm getting kind of sick of these children/sport movies. The team is terrible but with the help of they're coach it will change. We just had "Kicking & Screaming" spring of 2005. I felt that it was a pretty decent movie, which I prefer over this. But these type of movies have to stop. They maybe pretty good family films, but most of them are predictable. What I did like about this one was that Coach Roy didn't have to do anything to get his team to the finals, it's that the team worked as a team and they got themselves to the top. Usually in these kinds of movies, the coach makes them better, but if you watch how Coach Roy performs his task as a coach, he knows what to do. I actually feel that Martin Lawrence is getting tierd of the movies he's doing. His roles were pretty good in the last decade, but I don't know about now.Rebound can be a good movie, but there are other sport movies that I prefer to watch before this. Such as "The Big Green", " Little Giants" and others. I did laugh a few scenes in this movie, it's pretty funny and it could be a decent movie. 6/10.

From the director of "Dr. Dolittle", and "Daddy Day Care", once again, true genius sparks from the filmaking of the genius of satire, parody, and downright outrageous comedy, as Steve Carr strikes again with "Rebound", the story about a crazed college coach, thrown of college basketball, gets the opportunity to go back to his roots and become the coach of the Smelters (A Middle School basketball team).Martin Lawrence, the man who plays coach Roy McCormack, is again, the usual hysterical that he is. His witty humor and deadpan relationship with the kids are not even far between. The baskets are as funny as the game itself, as some yuppy comedy would put it, and is as good as it can get.Tara Correa, this one's for you.
So bad it's scary flick that I suppose is pleasant enough for the youngest age groups, but the rest of us will suffer unspeakable pains sitting through this deflated dud. Martin Lawrence is a highly successful college basketball coach who has lost touch with the game and his players. A freak accident at one of his games is the last straw as he is banned from coaching the collegiate ranks and then decides to take a job at his old junior high school (being sent a fax by players without consent from administration, go figure!?). Soon the usual sports underdog story takes place with predictable and tiring results. Lawrence has been hit and miss (usually miss) in more adult-oriented flicks, but he looks like he is just trying to make a quick buck here. The kids are totally forgettable and the rest of the cast is unaccomplished and basically have no business in cinematic features. Plays like one of those Disney Network television movies. Hopelessly terrible air ball. 2 stars out of 5.
