Suprisingly bad movie

Usually Romantic Comedies are fun to watch and entertaining with a familiar format. This one was just so flat and uninteresting I just had to stop watching it. I'd seen it before I think but it was on TV so I recorded it. I watched a while and just thought to myself, this is a horrible movie. Both leads are so uninteresting there is just no chemistry at all. Katherine Zeta Jones needs to drop the Zeta and just go by Kathy Jones, because she's about as interesting as paint drying.

yes, it was truly garbage of the lowest order.

Agree. A romantic comedy without the comedy is just very sappy. And what's up with all the useless never ending montages? Bad directing. The acting was ok.

I thought the dialogue was funny.

Interesting opinion.

I normally don't want this type of film. After watching a couple of weird bad films I decided to watch this on Netflix to de-stress. I normally hate these rom com type film and always find them lacking momentum. I actually thought the Rebound was a much better film than a lot of rom com stuff I have been forced to watch (thanks to my wife). I thought the acting was very good. Zeta-Jones did a very good job as did her co-star. The pacing of the film was well done and it kept me interested right until the very last act where he goes off searching for himself all around for world for 5+ years and the getting back together was a little weak as well.

Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
