BOUNCE 2000

Century Capitol

Ben Affleck. Gwenyth Paltrow. Joe Morton. Johnny Galeki. Tony Goldwyn.

A hot-shot advertising guy gives up his ticket to a father of two. The plane crashes. He feels bad. He checks in on the guy's widow and falls in love with her.

The two stars are charismatic together. You can tell that something used to be there. There are funny parts, but Affleck can't handle the emotional scenes. Just because there are tears in his eyes, doesn't make the audience believe. Paltrow is effortlessly good. It was light, but tried to be heavy. One five minute sequence appeared to have been cut from a 45 minute sequence. She hints she likes him and the next thing you know, he opens his heart and she does also and they have a blowup on the street.
