Profile of Rebound

The mood of Rebound is feel good, humorous, and touching. The plot centers around a dedicated educator, a sports team, and an athlete and trainer. It is a comedy, sports, and family movie. In approach, Rebound is not serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, at a high school. It happens in contemporary times. Rebound is especially suggested for a family outing and teens.

Summary of Rebound

In the tradition of THE BAD NEWS BEARS comes another family sports comedy, REBOUND. Martin Lawrence stars as superstar college basketball coach Roy McCormick, who is clearly more interested in his social status than he is in the game that made him famous. Unfortunately, when he accidentally kills the pet bird of the opposing team's mascot, he's suspended. The only way to make a return to the big time is if he is able to prove that he has his temper in check. Enter the bumbling players of McCormick's alma mater, Mt. Vernon Jr. High School, who goad McCormick into being their coach. The only trouble is that the last thing McCormick wants to do is coach a bunch of uncoordinated losers. Gradually, however, Coach McCormick begins to see the world differently when his players show signs of actual promise. And as he finds himself falling for the mother (Wendy Raquel Robinson) of his star player, Keith (Oren Williams), the life that he left behind doesn't seem so appealing anymore. Directed with flair by Steve Carr (DR. DOLITTLE 2, DADDY DAY CARE), REBOUND features an impressively toned-down Lawrence, as well as a slew of hilarious supporting turns (including Megan Mullally and Patrick Warburton).

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
The whole thing feels like a half-day of community service, which Lawrence walks through good-naturedly.
The Hollywood Reporter
Predictable yet passably entertaining.
