The Rebound
Sandy is a woman who discovered her husband's recent betrayal while watching the video of her son's birth by chance. Sandy decided to leave her house and move to the city in search of another home. Sandy found an apartment above a small cafe in the city, and accidentally met a cafe worker named Aram. The Aram family is called to waste his life and education by working in the cafe. Shortly after moving to the apartment in that city, Sandy decided to hire Aram to be her nanny, and then things might change.

The Rebound is largely character-driven, which is more than a lot of romantic films can vouch for.

Another faintly insulting rom-com promoting a marketing man's idea of what women really want from movies...

...a thoroughly (and consistently) misguided piece of work that has almost nothing truthful or relevant to say about relationships.

These are characters who seem very real. It's their imperfections, not contrived plot points, that drive the story.

Although it bears the marks of studio intervention, much of the blame remains firmly with Freundlich, who's incapable of arranging a single honest moment in this uncomfortable, frightfully strained creation.

The romantic trials of two wealthy, good-looking people, whose only barriers to happiness are their own petty insecurities, become tedious, and it's not helped by some stilted dialogue and awkward, mannered performances.

An unromantic comedy that gets down and dirty.

Poor writing and inconsistencies sink this film. Let's hope that Zeta-Jones and Bartha can rebound.

The Rebound offers up surprisingly nice characters (too nice, you could argue) and a modest charm that compensates for a lack of big laughs or much suspense.

Why is a movie that's trying to evoke some of the cool metropolitanism of late-'70s Woody Allen so rammed with hoary gags about New York being awash with transvestites and homeless flashers?

Saddling two game actors with a tone-deaf, charmless script, the film makes recent J.Lo vehicle The Back-up Plan look like Billy Wilder in comparison.
July 22, 2010
Laughs are in short supply, and Mr Freundlich resorts to gross-out lavatory humour that's an unnecessary concession to youthful audiences who wouldn't like this movie anyway.
