It
Starring:
Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck.
Directed
By: Don Roos
Loved
it. I am squarely on the pro-Affleck team though. I enjoy the
guys....work. Yeah. That's it. Bounce had only one thing
against it. The studio decided to tell the WHOLE friggin
story on the preview trailer. I knew what, when, how, in the library
with the candlestick, before I ever slipped into my seat. On the
other hand, my viewing companions did not see any novella preview.
Hence they were very affected by Affleck's Buddy and Paltrow's
realistic Abbey characters as they grew to know them; their story,
etc. That is so corrupt. I wish they would leave a little out
of the previews-like maybe the PLOT! Are they afraid the
two leads can't pull in the audience. Surprise an audience
doesn't need to go when you tell the whole story Hollywood!
I don't want
to ruin the story for you- so I am foregoing the outline I usually
follow. I will tell you Gwyneth Paltrow and Benjamin do a fantastic
job. The writing is real; legitimate. Well done. Sure,
you'll see some corn on the cob fluff, but the characters are
likable and intelligent. They meet under very unusual circumstances
and love sneaks under the skin and into their hearts. That's all
your getting. Trust me you'll enjoy it more. It's a different
kind of love story.
 Now
let's talk Benjie stew for a moment. Lickable lad that one. Geeze.
I first took fancy to his charms n Dogma.
I dare say he's a Stud-a-snarous Rex and true Adonis.  Scrumptious
banana pudding with a twinkle ( not twinkie-be nice) smoothness
in his beautiful smile! His, baby brother, Casey,
is a budding man babe too. Their mom must just beam 24 hours a
day.
Gwyneth is
a remarkable actress. She's like Keith Richards thin but- she
can't help it. Note To Gwynnie: surf into Victoria's
Secret online and pick up a brassier or two girl! Just because
you have itsy bitsy titties is no reason to unleash those Hershey
chocolate kiss niplet accessories onto the world. Distracting-and
not in a good way.
Get out with
your date, mate, significant other or just to see a little something
different. Bounce has character. Enjoy!
Snack recommendation:
Grilled cheese sandwiches and coffee.
