Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Rodrigo Amaro Martin Lawrence plays Roy, an arrogant and famous basketball coach suspended after a rant during a match, and he's forced to coach a high school team of kids whose major kicks on the sport is to be losers. "Rebound" follows the clichéd path of many other films of the subject but fails almost in everything it tries so hard to copy. It tries to be funny but it isn't (I mean, not even a single joke); it tries to create a climatic match during the end but it's almost a boring thing to see and to get there you might fall asleep during the other scenes. Besides all the unfunny aspects there are more serious things to be said of "Rebound". With the notable exception of Steven Christopher Parker (who plays Wes, the intelligent kid but very unexperienced with basketball), all the other kids haven't got sympathetic characters, I couldn't relate with anyone of them (or relate with any character actually, everybody was boring or annoying). This was supposed to be a comedy, with some friendly characters and funny situations, but what I've got here was a distant, shallow and boring kid's movie. This wasn't a good comical vehicle for Lawrence although he has some good moments (the two scenes where he talks to one of the kids about being a good player, motivating the kids to not be "the only guy on the team who plays well and start thinking on the team as a whole). Sadly Breckin Meyer was reduced to two or three scenes, playing Lawrence's agent. This is not a case of a bad film with terrible things to show, but it is a misguided and unfunny little picture. 5/10

callanvass Let me state the only reason this perked my interest was the casting of Martin Lawrence. I was dreading going into this one due to all the horrible reviews, and the fact I'm picky on Kid films, but to my surprise I had some fun with it. I laughed pretty hard or at least chuckled when Martin had trouble with any of the kids, it was really quite cute to watch. The kids that starred in this movie, were also way better than I expected as well. My favorite had to be when Tara Correa-McMullen|Big Mac| started bullying people around, it was quite amusing to see. Let's not pretend though that this is fully original, and I'll tell you why. This is Basketball's version of The Mighty Ducks in a lot of ways. Coach Bombay from the Mighty ducks gets in trouble and has to coach a Hockey Team only to be a changed person afterwords. Roy McCormick gets in trouble with the league, and hits rock bottom coaching kids at a high school, but with that being said I still got more enjoyment out of it then I expected, and that's all I can ask for.Performances. Martin Lawrence is slumming it a bit obviously, but still manages to be entertaining. He does his usual stuck, and it works well for the movie. Wendy Raquel Robinson is decent as the love interest, and had a few funny lines. Breckin Meyer is pretty good as the fickle sport's agent of Martin's. Horatio Sanz is funny as Martin's bumbling Assistant Coach. Oren Williams is rather bland as the lead kid. Patrick Warburton is funny as the Enemy Coach. Megan Mullally is hilarious as the sarcastic Principal, I relished the times she was on-screen. Steven Christopher Parker|Wes| does great as the Mao Ying type, I enjoyed his relationship with Big Mac. Steven Anthony Lawrence is funny as the constant Puker. Tara Correa-McMullen is great as Big Mac, it's a shame about her Death in real life.Bottom line. Not a bad Rebound for Martin Lawrence|Pun intended|. It's far from an original or a great Comedy, but it passed the time amiably and made me smile. Worth the watch on a lazy day, it should do the job.5 1/2 /10

moveoverhere 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
