Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act If nothing else, I'm sure Criminal Minds fans will certainly appreciate seeing Moore and his gorgeous smile back on the big screen. Jan 23, 2017 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety You watch it thinking: There's a reason why Tracy and Hepburn movies never hinged on therapy, and didn't feature actors whose exteriors looked a lot more exciting than their inner lives. Dec 10, 2016 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle A likable romantic comedy, The Bounce Back may not scream true love, but it's companionable enough until something better comes along. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Predictable romcom will appeal most to adults. Rated: 2/5 Feb 10, 2017 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files While it won't win points for originality, The Bounce Back is a charming and occasionally really funny romantic comedy. Rated: 6.5/10 Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News Confirmation that opposites do, in fact, attract, even shrinks dispensing diametrically-opposed dating advice!

Naz H This movie is funny and has good structure. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Frances H Too predictable and the acting is only so-so. Friends with Benefits was a better romcom by far! And, of course the acting was much better! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/08/21 Full Review Terry S Predictable, pure crap. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/20 Full Review Audience Member The bounce back in its core is a by the book predictable romantic comedy. Still the movie has a lot of charm. The performances are good and some of the dialogue is funny. The concept of opposites attract are also entertaining. I expected the film to be worse but it was entertaining enough just don’t expect any surprises.
