If nothing else, I'm sure Criminal Minds fans will certainly appreciate seeing Moore and his gorgeous smile back on the big screen.

You watch it thinking: There's a reason why Tracy and Hepburn movies never hinged on therapy, and didn't feature actors whose exteriors looked a lot more exciting than their inner lives.

2.5/5

A likable romantic comedy, The Bounce Back may not scream true love, but it's companionable enough until something better comes along.

Predictable romcom will appeal most to adults.

While it won't win points for originality, The Bounce Back is a charming and occasionally really funny romantic comedy.

Confirmation that opposites do, in fact, attract, even shrinks dispensing diametrically-opposed dating advice!

Having just fast forward through most of this hideous movie. This is the most BORING movie one could force their self to watch. It is not funny, it is not interesting by any means! The story line is completely bland. The movie show cases a man who is basically just bed hopper with contradicting views, since he has a daughter. The women he choses are total air heads, as well as he portrays himself, a worst air head! Watching paint dry is more exciting than this stinker of a catastrophe. Pass on it, you'll be glad you did!

Never registered as much as a chuckle or a smirk. All the roles were cliche.

Light fare with gorgeous leads, for those who prefer their romcom with a lot more rom than com.

Cute movie. Just a movie for mostly women when you want light romance and not something heavy or depressing. Enjoyable

Cute. A formula rom-com where the guy has to break his a~~ to repair a relationship with an overly sensitive femme. The break-up scenario was a bit thin; but a rom-com must have it. Had not seen Nadine V before. Something of a vision - and the best lips since Barbara Eden ("I Dream of Jeannie") & K. Zeta J. Nicely shot in bright California colors. Overall, a nice date-night movie or chick flick. | - Norm de Guerre
