Roy McCormick (Martin Lawrence) is a college basketball coach more famous for his temper than for his coaching ability. After one of his rages gets him banned from the sport, Roy takes a job coaching basketball at a middle school in an attempt to repair his reputation. Amazingly, what Roy began as a show of rehabilitation begins to genuinely change him, and he learns to care for his team. His relationship with local mom Jeanie (Wendy Raquel Robinson) is a good influence as well.

Joshua Land Village Voice Lawrence coasts on star power, genially sending up his bad-boy persona. Jul 6, 2005 Full Review Daniel Fienberg Zap2it.com An underdog sports saga that skips nary a cliche on its nearly laughless journey. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Don't misunderstand me. This isn't a very good picture by any stretch of the imagination. All I'm saying is that it isn't a bad one, Carr and Lawrence keeping things relatively bouncy and benignly innocuous... Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News A lazy, half-hearted attempt at comedy that gets the award for being the most predictable film of 2005. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Even the teenaged misfit audiences to whom "Rebound" is targeted will lose patience with the film's uninspired gags and lazy writing. Rated: D Apr 16, 2009 Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International An adequate video babysitter, but kids and parents alike would have a better time simply rewatching The Bad News Bears.

Rosana B Bem bobinho e infantil, que passa uma mensagem de otimismo e força de vontade para as crianças, tristemente foi o único papel de protagonista Tara Correa no cinema, ela foi assassinada em um tiroteio de gangue, três meses após o lançamento do filme, faleceu aos 16 anos, ela não era atriz, quando sua mãe, que estava trabalhando para uma empresa de elenco na época, recomendou sua filha para o papel… Um filme bobinho que deixa nosso coração quentinho... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review KerryWhite's S Rating: 6/10. 63/100 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 23 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Lawrence anchors a basketball version of "Bad News Bears" early 2000s style. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not at all an original concept, but this rag tag group provides enough joy to make it worth a watch Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A funny movie that I enjoy watching I’m a basketball fan!! My favorite characters where Coach Roy, Keith and Jeanie. So I don’t understand how this movie got bad readings!
