The Rebound (2009)

Director: Bart Freundlich
Starring: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Justin Bartha
Genre: Romantic comedy
Rating: ***

Although it does have the occasional laugh and tear-jerker, there is actually nothing remarkable about this film apart from the charming performance by lead Zeta-Jones. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Bartha - he simply seems a little bland in comparison.

The scenarious are too unlikely for the relationship between the leads to have any real emotional attatchment with the audience. Saying this, The Rebound is actually very enjoyable, and probably the perfect film for a girlie night in. Thankfully, the moment in which the couple break up in the middle of the film is more inventive and an actual reason (however unlikely) than those found in many other romantic comedies.

Overall, enjoyable, but nothing special.

We are running the Race for Life again this year, after raising £230 last year. It would mean a lot if you would sponser us as my aunt recently relapsed and has breast cancer for the second time.

Thank you for your support.
