    Watching Bounce, you look at him (Affleck) and believe how much he's got at stake, and you look at Paltrow and know why.

    Beneath 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.

    A pallid, mediocre tale that treacles its way through well-worn channels.

    A good movie, although it looses it's way a little in sentiment and becomes a little flabby towards the end. It made my girl shed a tear and I was not bored. Affleck made a good job of a guy struggling with his conscious and Paltrow was great at someone who was unsure of what was the right thing to do! One worth getting out for a lazy Sunday afternoon or when you’re a male and given the choice to pick a movie, but need to show-off your feminine side;-)… Expand
