Bounce review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/10/2012
Buddy's (Ben Affleck) flight to LA was delayed due to a snow storm in Chicago. He converses with Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn) and Mimi (Natasha Henstridge) to pass the time. Buddy gives his ticket to Greg with the aid of a ticketing agent named Janice Guerrero (Jennifer Grey). Greg's wife Abby Janello (Gwyneth Paltrow) discovers the unfortunate demise of her husband and encounters Buddy. Paltrow shows promise and Affleck descent despite the lackluster screenplay. The premise of lying from the start was evident and it was baffling how everything still worked out in the end despite the characters actions. Having a guilty conscience and falling in love just don't mix, and in the picture it seemed possible to forget the former. Bounce could have been effective if executed properly.
