In life you never know when it your time to meet your maker, also you never know when someone you meet in a restaurant or a movie theater or even in an airport could change your life forever.

Bounce is a romantic drama about two strangers, a hot shot urban ad exec named Buddy  (Ben Affleck) and a real estate agent name Abby Janello (Gwyneth Paltrow). While on a business trip waiting for his plane back to L.A he meets two strangers Mimi (Natasha Henstridge) and Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn). And they start to chitchat so Tony tells them how he can’ wit to get home and help sells Christmas trees with his sons. So Buddy give up his seat on the plane to Tony so he could be with his son. 

While he was getting to know Mimi he hears that the plane that he was post to be on crash and everyone on the plane dies. A year goes by and he look up Tony widow Abby and he think he could try to help her but instead he falls in love with her but Abby does not know who Buddy is and what he knows as they but will find out what love is all about. 

Bounce was a not bad Romantic drama I have seen well. Ben and Gwyneth did a good job working together everyone knows of there old relationship but they incest it is the past and they are just friend. Here are some good and bad points.

Good

  1. The stars work well together, they had feeling and dept to their roles and you could tell they had a relationship in the past before.
  2. The story was kind of different.

Bad 

  1. The film drags a little bit it took to long to get to the point.
  2. The film was very predictable
  3. There was not that much dept from the supporting roles

Overall Bounce was not a bad film it is defiantly a chick flick and date flick. Check it out and see for yourself.
