Reviewed by
Eric D. Snider :
For years I have thought Martin Lawrence's problem in
movies is that he's too obnoxious and exasperating,
so convinced of the inherency of his own hilarity that
he never actually bothers to do anything funny. This
is why, I thought, with the possible exception of "Bad
Boys" in 1995, he has never starred in a good movie.
(NEVER.) .

Review By Scott
haro-online :
Martin Lawrence has had a relatively successful
career thus far, consisting of stand-up comedy, a television
show, movies, and the standard celebrity public meltdown.
While his comedy tends towards the profane, it is slapstick.
Rebound is his first all-ages movie, and it's a surprisingly
effective mixture of standard Lawrence humor (minus
much of the crudity) and 'family' humor. If he wants,
Lawrence could probably have a future making family
comedies. It's too bad that Rebound is a pure paint-by-numbers
affair. Heck, replace basketball with soccer and the
result is the recent Will Ferrell dud Kicking and Screaming.
One of the kids (Steven Anthony Lawrence, Cheaper by
the Dozen) even appears in both films.. More..
