Critic Reviews

  • Joshua Land, Village Voice

  • 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.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Goes along pleasantly.
