hyped garbage

good back-story, and good acting

Expected more

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Most would say Rebound is a good "family movie"...but in my opinion...it isn't a good anything. It is just a pretty bad movie. If you want a good family movie there are so many other choices - everything from The Lion King to Finding Nemo to Back to the Future(well I am not sure if that is exactly a family but it is certainly a hell of a lot better than Rebound). The point is, why see Rebound when their are so many other movies that are so much better in achieving the goals that it Rebound tried to achieve? Rebound is just a cliché, pointless, unfunny, hardly warming, dumb, unrealistic, and flawed film. Just a waste of time and money.3/10.

First off let me start out by saying that I am not a huge Martin Lawrence fan. Big Momma's House 1 and 2 were pretty good for some dumb comedy movies (me owning the first one and liking it)but, National Security with Martin and Steve Zahn was passable. OK, now on to Rebound. Hot Head Basketball coach Roy McCormic (Lawrence) gets fired and loses his fame and decides to win the press and basketball league back by coaching a small middle school team called The Mt. Vernon Smelters. So he meets the kids, Keith, best player, One Love, loves shoes, hair and ego, Goggles, best spirit, always hit in the face, Ralph, two older brothers, lots of experience, and Fuzzy, the junk food addict (no offense). So bit by bit he starts to teach them to win and later they add two more players, Wes, the shy tall guy who Roy calls "The Sledgehammer", and Big Mac, the school bully who is not afraid of a fight. They get better and better and slowly make their way to victory. Some of the side joke adult characters such as the principal of the school (Meagan Mullaly of TV's "Will and Grace") and an over enthusiastic competitive coach (Patrick Warburton of (Kronk's New Groove). Overall I thought this movie was good and entertaining. It teaches a lesson to not be self centered. It was very sad in my opinion that the girl who played Big Mac died from a gunshot and was rumored to be in a gang. She would have become a "SuperSta". All and all very entertaining.2 out of 4 stars

this film is great. if you like martin Lawrence, you'll love this. on one hand its great family fun like 'black knight', but if your a 21 year old white male that likes comedies with a bit of black in them, chances are your be dying with laughter at a quite a few moments in this film.i wasn't expecting too much from it, i saw the DVD cover in a movie rental place and without even reading the back i came to the conclusion it was 'black family basketball comedy' and it was. people expect the world from every film released nowadays, but if you just wanna kick back with an easy going comedy that you'll probably be quoting for a while, then this is it.ace

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.
