91Watching Bounce, you look at him (Affleck) and believe how much he's got at stake, and you look at Paltrow and know why.
-
80It'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.
-
60Beneath the plot's romantic turns lies a surprisingly complex examination of the personal and professional price of honesty; falsehoods, half-truths, little white lies and self-delusion spur most of the key plot developments, and Roos never resorts to platitudes to account for their effects.
-
30A pallid, mediocre tale that treacles its way through well-worn channels.
