The Rebound Reviews

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection or movies to choose from but, as a result, I have became slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie was a perfect example and the only reason I watched it was because it was featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones . Indeed, I always had a weak spot for this actress, I actually thinks she is quite charming but she didn't make so many movies back then and most of them were seriously quite forgettable. Unfortunately, this flick was not an exception. I mean, I'm a really a sucker for this kind of romantic-comedies, especially when they are dealing with an older woman falling in love with a younger man (it has probably to do with the fact that my wife is 11 years older than me). Unfortunately, it took forever to take off, with some awkward and pathetic 'funny' scenes. Eventually, when they finally get together, the whole thing started to got better and there were even some nice and touching scenes. But then again, they had to break up for some really bogus reasons which was just so annoying. Towards the end, they did try to recover the damage done but I wasn't really convinced. To conclude, it was a very average romantic-comedy and it is not really worth a look.
