Bounce Summary Buddy Amaral (ben Affleck), A Cocky, Self-absorbed Ad Executive Who--in Desiring A Tryst With The Gorgeous Mimi (natasha Henstridge), A Woman He Meets At The Airport--gives Up His Plane Ticket Back To Los Angeles To Writer Greg Janello (tony Goldwyn). The Plane Crashes, And Buddy Begins A Downward Spiral Of Alcoholism And Self-loathing Until He Undergoes Rehab. Once Out, He Decides To Pay A Visit To The Dead Man's Widow. Abby Janello (gwyneth Paltrow) Is A Struggling Real Estate Agent With Two Young Sons. She Slowly Befriends Buddy And Falls In Love With Him While Buddy Struggles With The Guilty Secret Of His Connection To Her Husband's Untimely Death Which Could Destroy Their Relationship.

Bounce has all the deft charm and breezy good looks you'd expect from a romance starring Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow, but under the surface beats the poisoned heart of an independent film just going through the motions. Affleck plays Buddy Amaral, a successful ad exec with an empty life. In a Chicago airport, he meets Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn), a failed playwright going home to his family and a corrupt job as a TV writer. Buddy, angling for a one-night stand with a fellow passenger, gives Greg his ticket, but feels bad when he discovers the plane crashed and the guy died. He feels so bad, in fact, that when he gets out of rehab a year or so later, he decides to give the guy's widow, real estate agent Abby (Paltrow), commission on the sale of a building for his business, a sale she's not qualified to make. They start dating. She quickly forgets her initial impression of him as a creepy stalker. Near the end of the movie, she finds out her first impression was correct and she dumps him. It's the right decision but one that the movie won't allow her to make. Instead her best friend and her kids convince her to stay with the guy. Eeeesh. Affleck is good at playing privileged and shallow, Paltrow does what she can with the prepackaged grief of a widow, Joe Morton has very little to do as Buddy's business partner (but he does it well), and Johnny Galecki shines in a very small part as Buddy's assistant. Good performances in a rather creepy film by the guy who made The Opposite of Sex. --Andy Spletzer
