I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Sorry, this movie sucks
Absolutely the worst movie.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
A man switches plane tickets with another man who dies in that plane in a crash. The man falls in love with the deceased one's wife. Bounce is one of the early Ben Affleck movies where he shows that he can act because in my opinion he is a very underrated actor he went from Gigli to be Batman in his best performance ever. Now in this movie he fells in love with Gwyneth Paltrow who lost her husband on a plane crush. The only problem i found with this film was the pacing other than that it was a great love story for this 2 people but also good on it's dramatic parts. Not Affleck's best movie but definitely better than Gigli and the overrated Gone Girl which sucked. Check it out it might surprise you.
This movie is easy going and maybe a little bit boring. The plot was good and so were the actors. I like Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow but this movie does not reflect their greatest performances.This is a story about two men who switch plane tickets and when the one plane crashes and kills the passengers on board, the other man feels horrified and guilty, so he decides to find the deceased man's wife to tell her what happened to her husband. When he meets with the widow he starts falling in love with her which was not what he intended.If you want something easy to watch for a Sunday afternoon, this one would be a good choice.
"Bounce" is a nice 2000 film that, had I paid $10 to see it, I probably wouldn't have been very happy. It's got star power, all right - Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow - but Lifetime could have done this film with Heather Locklear and Stephen Collins, and the effect would have been about the same.Ben Affleck plays Buddy Amaral, an ad exec at O'Hare airport, waiting for his flight to leave for Los Angeles. Also to be on that flight is a writer, Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn) who decides to take the $200 and free ticket and get bounced from the flight. Greg's wife (Paltrow) is extremely unhappy about that, and berates him because he's supposed to be home selling Christmas trees with his son the next day. Since Affleck has met an attractive blonde (Nastasha Henstridge), he decides to stay the extra night and gives Greg his ticket. The plane crashes with 200+ people killed, Greg among them. Devastated, Buddy spends the next drinking and screwing up his business, eventually landing in rehab. When he gets out, he looks up the widow.The performances are very good all around. The story is predictable, but you find yourself caring anyway.Good Christmas movie that asks questions about guilt and fate.
A charming romantic tale of two people brought together, both with emotional baggage issues. I thought the performances were great from both superb actors, they really worked well together and made a nice couple. I was a bit sorry to see it end so soon, was expecting an update, like a few years on down the track would have been nice to see them work out their issues together. It was well worth the effort to watch this movie, a good girls night in movie. Was especially glad to realize it wasn't a tear jerker but a good solid, easy watching movie. I rated it 7 out of 10 and fans of these two actors are in for a real treat.
