The Rebound - DVD Review

Cuddle up with a captivating comedy, and learn that age is just a number with Academy Award®-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones* (No Reservations, Chicago) and Justin Bartha (The Hangover, National Treasure: Book of Secrets) in The Rebound, on Blu-ray and DVD, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, Sandy (Zeta-Jones) and her two kids move from the suburbs to pursue a new life in the big city. There she meets Aram (Bartha), a local coffee shop employee whose wife only married him as a means to getting her green card. The two strike up a friendship which eventually evolves into something more. But it isn’t long before they’re faced with the big question - “Is this real or just a rebound?”

The Rebound also features fantastic supporting performances from Lynn Whitfield (The Women, Madea’s Family Reunion), John Schneider (“The Dukes of Hazzard,” Lake Placid 2) and music legend Art Garfunkel.

My Review:

The Rebound is about Sandy and Aram, both people who are going through relationship transitions, and how they develop feelings for each other even though Sandy is older than Aram.  More a romance than a comedy, this movie is rated R for nudity and crudeness.  The characters are relatable and the plot is smooth but I expected to see more comicalness.  I'd recommend The Rebound as a movie you'd watch while hanging with your girlfriends, no kids allowed.

I received DVD for review.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products.  Your opinions and results may differ.
