One snowy night in Chicago, three displaced travelers meet. When Greg looks like he will miss a very special moment with his family when his flight is delayed, Buddy gives him his boarding pass. Greg is ecstatic and tells Buddy he has saved his marriage. Later that night Greg's flight explodes into a fireball over Kansas and leaves Buddy plagued with Greg's death. Some time passes and Buddy becomes an alcoholic and only half the man he was.
Bounce is tender, delicate and well written.
Paltrow is always a joy to watch and seems to find strength, and passion in every role she takes on. I loved their chemistry. This film will definitely add to the mystery that is this couple's real-life relationship. Unlike a lot of my colleagues, I had a lot of trouble with the whole premise of the film. Through a lot of the film I felt that Affleck's Buddy was just getting more and more in trouble as he continued his relationship with Abby.
