Buddy is fearlessly confident and wildly charming, his clients love him, and thanks to his good looks, so do woman. Abby is a down-to-earth and naturally good-looking housewife. They were stranger's worlds apart until something brought them together. Something more than attraction; something more than fate; something more than coincidence.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Critics say Bounce is more of a thud. Plot turns feel cliched and contrived, and the romance between Paltrow and Affleck fails to engage.

2.5/4
The very premise of Bounce sounds suspect, so it's a credit to Roos' writing that he largely overcomes his own dubious plotline and fashions a fairly involving love story. Go to Full Review

Ron W Apr 3, 2017 Paltrow's character not believable. Tired plot - he holds back info for her own good. They fall in love. She finds out "the secret" and gets pissed. then they get together - I think - I've already forgotten. See more

Synopsis Buddy is fearlessly confident and wildly charming, his clients love him, and thanks to his good looks, so do woman. Abby is a down-to-earth and naturally good-looking housewife. They were stranger's worlds apart until something brought them together. Something more than attraction; something more than fate; something more than coincidence.
