Review of Bounce (2000) by Martijn W — 16 Aug 2009

Decent movie about a guy (Ben Affleck) who makes a nice gesture and gives a guy his plane ticket in an airport bar. The plane crashes and the guy dies, so Ben Affleck becomes an alcoholic because he is a MURDERER.

It's funny when he's even drinking in the shower, because I know that I'M not an alcoholic now because I've never stooped to drinking in the fucking shower. How would you go to the kitchen and make another drink when you're all wet? It makes no sense.

Then he goes to rehab because he's a pussy and can't quit on his own. Ben Affleck became an alcoholic in real life and went to rehab because he didn't "know what to do with himself" when he was alone.

WAH WAH WAH Ben, if I looked like a monkey and had a girlfriend with an ass the size of the moon I never would've stopped drinking. But, oh yeah, the movie. He tracks down the guy's wife because of his MURDERER'S GUILT, but instead of telling her he's the reason her husband died, he romances her for 2 hours.

I guess if he told her right off the bat there wouldn't have been a movie. Besides, you don't want to get Gwyneth Paltrow upset, she might start yelling at her kids, calling them Apple.
