83By not trying too hard, this remake of a dumb movie has got spring in its step. The bounce is on us.
-
80It's Wilson who's the score here. Quick, scruffy and completely at ease, he takes on Jack's let-it-ride charms and foibles as if he were tossing a Frisbee with friends, and it's impossible to watch him without wanting in on the game.
-
60It's too loose and casual, all too willing to trade the writer's trademark wit and literary mischief for slapstick comedy.
-
38Mostly, though, The Big Bounce isn't offensive, or even terrible. It's just lazy, relying on numb moviegoers to fork over cash thinking they'll see the next "Get Shorty" or "Out of Sight."
