Roy McCormick (Martin Lawrence) is one of the most successful coaches in college basketball, but he's just as famous for his hair-trigger temper as he is for molding winning teams. When an outburst of anger during a game escalates into an embarrassing public indecent, McCormick loses his job and is banned from college sports. Looking for a way to rehabilitate his image, McCormick takes a job coaching the basketball team at the middle school he used to attend, only to discover his players are a handful of misfits and losers with no skill on the court. Can McCormick mold the kids into a winning team -- and make himself into a better man along the way? Rebound also stars Wendy R. Robinson, Breckin Meyer, Horatio Sanz, Megan Mullally, and Patrick Warburton. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joshua Land, Village Voice
Lawrence coasts on star power, genially sending up his bad-boy persona.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
... a dumb, cookie-cutter sports movie that knows nothing about sports and even less about comedy.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
A lazy, by-the-numbers vehicle.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
With the bounceless Rebound, Martin Lawrence has managed the feat of transforming from razor-tongue Bad Boys comic into a cuddly Bill Cosby clone.
-
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
This is a stupid movie.
