Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

adonis98-743-186503 A man switches plane tickets with another man who dies in that plane in a crash. The man falls in love with the deceased one's wife. Bounce is one of the early Ben Affleck movies where he shows that he can act because in my opinion he is a very underrated actor he went from Gigli to be Batman in his best performance ever. Now in this movie he fells in love with Gwyneth Paltrow who lost her husband on a plane crush. The only problem i found with this film was the pacing other than that it was a great love story for this 2 people but also good on it's dramatic parts. Not Affleck's best movie but definitely better than Gigli and the overrated Gone Girl which sucked. Check it out it might surprise you.

Robert J. Maxwell Ben Affleck is a drunk who, out of a spirit of inebriated generosity, switches tickets with another passenger on a crowded flight, allowing the man to get home and visit his child. The airplane falls down, as airplanes are wont to do, and the man is killed. A dried-out Affleck feels compelled to look up the man's widow, Gwyneth Paltrow, and tell her the story. Instead, he falls for her and holds back his secret. It's understandable that he finds her desirable. She's Gwyneth Paltrow as a brunette. When the big reveal finally rolls around there is heartbreak to spare.I almost feel I ought to apologize for not liking the movie. It's like not liking a child's finger painting. See that dendritic structure? That's Junior's tree. The long part at the bottom is the trunk. You can tell because it's brown. And that green ball at the top? The leaves.What sex is to pornography, what blood is to action movies, emotional highs followed by crashes followed by highs are to this higher-budget afternoon domestic drama.Here's some dialog. "You can either say good-bye and leave now, or you can leave without saying good-bye," sobs Paltrow through her tears.The fact that Affleck gave the other fellow his own ticket is treated as a shameful act. Affleck is made to keep it a secret as long as is consistent with a full-length feature movie. When he vomits out the terrible truth, he hems and haws and acts as if he, Affleck, had personally strangled the guy in order to get at the wife he hasn't yet met.It's not insulting in that it doesn't propagate some fantastic notion like wiping out everyone we dislike or having unprotected sex with a Nigerian prostitute. It's just ultimately boring, like pornography and action movies. However, it must be said that movies about sex or gore have their fans, and this one probably will find an audience too, but I wouldn't be among them. I have this tendency to drift off.

andizapatagj I think this movie was good. Is one of the best I've seen Affleck in after his terrible role in Perl Harbor and other light comedy movies, the argument was very interesting and the beginning seemed to had an original road but after the first half an hour you know nothing can surprise you. The romance was good and didn't had any lame or cheesy dialogs but many times the Palthrow character got in my nerves as she was too repetitive and desperate, sure her husband died but we already got the message of her being in pain and it wasn't necessary to be repeated every time she was talking with someone else. Besides, Affleck always had his poor sad dog face and their chemistry was terrible as many have said. I was going to laugh the first time they kissed, it was so fake and so forced. It is a simple light Hollywood movie that might get you sad sometimes but will not make you think after wards or crumble right for a Sunday afternoon

fedor8 Not a bad premise, especially for what is merely yet another romantic drama that pairs up any major male star with any major female star. However, once the basic premise "happens" (so-to-speak) the rest is very predictable and formulaic, including the soppy and mediocre ballads sung by current females-on-acoustic-guitar semi-poet semi-90s-philosopher pop-singer morons. It was obvious Affleck would: 1) get in touch with Paltrow, 2) fall for her and vice versa, 3) not tell her immediately le big secret, 4) she'd find out, one way or another, and tell him to go away, and 5) at the end they'd continue where they originally started. So the first half is totally by-the-numbers. There is even a gay character who offers counsel, support and all that other gay stuff which all 90s gay movie characters are required to do. (If they aren't (un)funny sidekicks, then they at least have to be WISE AND GOOD.) Still, at least they let Affleck make a sarcastic comment about the gay guy's role; a bit of unexpected but ultimately insufficient irony. Paltrow is annoying, Affleck is "blah" – so nothing new there. He is a weak actor because he is Ben in every movie he plays. Sure, Clint Eastwood is Clint in every movie he plays, and the same goes for Bronson and some others, but with a big difference: those guys have charisma, i.e. we want to see Clint be Clint and so on but we don't ever want to see Ben be Ben because Ben isn't charismatic but simply a 90s Hollywood brat. (In fact, I don't want to see Ben Affleck AT ALL.) The thing I mentioned earlier, about male-female-star pairing-ups is getting downright tiresome. There is a list of male and a list of female actresses who are paired up every now and then (read: far too often) for various romantic dramas or romantic comedies that are always based on clichéd scripts; movies that promise cash once the women and the girls in the audience start taking out those handkerchiefs out (usually towards the end of the movie) so that they can wet them with their tears of soap-operatic self-delusion.The men: The women: George Clooney Michelle Pfeiffer Bruce Willis Salma Hayek Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez Keanu Reeves Sandra Bullock Matthew MacConaughey Winona Ryder Richard Gere Gwyneth Paltrow Hugh Grant Meg Ryan Tom Hanks Julia Roberts Nicolas Cage Charlize TheronPair up any of these randomly, placing them in a movie about on-&-off love in which usually someone has a terminal illness or someone is from a different social class than the other, etc, and you can make your own 90s soap movie with very little entertainment or cinematic value. Try it. It's very, very easy. You might even get a feeling of deja-vu because some of these pairs already made films - with fascinating, brilliant results. Now you know how easy it can be to run a movie corporation.If you want to read my parody-biographies of Affleck, Paltrow, and other Hollywood dimwits, contact me by e-mail.
