Editorial Review:
In this irresistible family comedy, hothead college basketball coach Roy McCormick (Martin Lawrence) is more interested in endorsement deals than in winning games. And after an on-court meltdown, Roy is about to lose everything unless he can prove he can win games without losing his cool.
Enter the Smelters, a wise-cracking junior high squad that's never won a game. Reluctantly taking on the team of hapless hoopsters, Roy uses his coaching magic to teach the kids the importance of dedication and teamwork on the hilarious road to the championship. Roy finds new love along the way, and rediscovers his first true love?basketball!
Description of Rebound:
After accidentally killing a team mascot, the notoriously bad-tempered and egomaniacal Coach Roy (Martin Lawrence, Big Momma's House) is banned for life from coaching--unless he can get through a season without any bad marks on his record and if he can find a team who'll take him on. It just so happens that his former middle school has a rag-tag team in need of a good coach... and you can already see where this is going. Rebound is pure formula, the combination of kids and sports perfected in The Bad News Bears and then repeated ad nauseum in The Mighty Ducks and even worse fare. But what makes a formulaic movie watchable are its grace notes: The quirky scene, the surprising supporting performance, the unexpected smidgen of clever dialogue that didn't get squelched in committee. Rebound has a great supporting cast, including Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld), and Breckin Meyer (Clueless). The running commentary of a pair of girl reporters (Alia Shawkat of Arrested Development and Amy Bruckner) is amusing, and the kids are an appealingly awkward bunch, rather than glossy adults passing as teens. Don't expect much from Rebound, but it's got its moments. --Bret Fetzer
Rebound Reviews:
An Awesome Film!!! 
2009-07-01 - This is a very funny movie! Everybody does an awesome job, including Martin Lawrence who plays Coach Roy McCormick who is spoiled and has a bad temper. When he accidentally kills an opposing teams mascot during a game, he is banned from coaching college basketball. he receives an offer to coach the Mount Vernon Junior High School Basketball team. The team haven't won a game in 12 years, so Coach Roy decides to help. He must soon pick between coaching at high school, or going back to his old ways. I highly recommend REBOUND!!!
Rebound... 
2008-05-07 - Cute movie. There a few scenes that are unnecessary. Martin Lawerence can be so funny when he wants to be. The only problem is that he doesn't know how to clean up his language.

Cute Family Tale!
2007-08-26 - When hot shot college basketball coach Roy McCormick has a meltdown on the court, he's bannished to coach a group of underachievers at his former junior high school. This was a surprizing funny film that isn't full of foul language or tasteless humor. Martin Lawrence shows he can give laughs without being vulgar. Good entertainment for the whole family!
