The Rebound

Year: 2009
Director: Bart Freundlich




















Why am i reviewing this movie? It's 'cause i'm back with a vengeance. Or at least i want to be. I have ignored this blog for a long time, now i wanna make amends. So i start by reviewing the movie i watched last night, which happens to be this one.
What to say about this movie. Let me put in some spoilers... 40 year old mother of 2 catches husband cheating, divorces him & moves to New York city. There she gets a fab job & meets this angel of a 25 year old guy who gives up blue collar jobs to be a manny to her kids, because "he loves them". Obviously they fall in love & it's strange, her being so much older than him. But he does stick around, the angel that he is, loves every bit of her & is thrilled out of his mind to hear that she's preganant. He can't wait to be a dad at 25 it seems. But things don't work out & she decides she doesn't want to be with him (yes, crazy woman, i know!) & he goes travelling the world, has all these awesome experinces and... well, i think you should watch the movie yourself to know the ending at least.
But let me stop being cynical here & admit that it was indeed funny in places, & is good entertainment. And i have to say this, that if anywhere in the world (or beyond it) there is a man as great as this guy in the movie played by Justin Bartha, CALL ME!!!!

I just spent the whole night watching this film for Catherine Zeta Jones, and boy has she gotten old!

Also, the film sucked, I think. Badly!
