Review of Bounce (2000) by Amulet — 19 Apr 2021

Affleck does more than merely cruise.

Ben Affleck takes on the typical Tom Cruise character (real jerk finds his conscience through trials and tribulations in life and love), but surprisingly does a much better job. Gwyneth Paltrow convincingly portrays a widow and mother of two who doesn't realize that her new love interest has a fateful tie to her and her family. The two have great screen chemistry (gee, their kisses seemed so natural and familiar), which complemented a pleasant, albeit unlikely, story.
