Product Description
Comedy starring Martin Lawrence. Basketball coach, Roy (Lawrence), was once college basketball's top mastermind. But lately his attentions have been on his next endorsements, not on his next game. What's more, Roy's temper has run amuck, leading to his being banned from college ball until he can 'demonstrate compliance' - in other words, not explode every time he walks onto the court. Enter the Smelters: a wise-cracking junior high squad that's never won a game. Reluctantly taking on the team of hapless hoopsters, Roy uses his coaching magic to teach the kids the importance of dedication and teamwork on the hilarious road to the championship. Roy finds new love along the way and rediscovers his first true love - basketball.

Excellent Movie For It's Audience
4 Jan 2006
By Dorrie Wheeler
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The Martin Lawrence movie Rebound is now available on DVD. Martin stars as Coach Roy McCormick, a college basketball coach who is obviously feeling himself a little too much. Photoshoots and hanging on Cadillac Escalades are more important than coaching it appears. When Coach Roy is banned from the NCBA he is left without a college coaching position. His attorney, portrayed by Breckin Meyer, explains to the NCBA that they have to give Coach Roy another chance before they enact a lifetime ban.
Wendy Raquel Robinson (The Steve Harvey Show), stars in the film as the mother of young boy who doesn't have his father in his life. Coach Roy soon finds himself back at his alma mater, Mt. Vernon Jr. High coaching a group of misfit basketball players. The kids are quirky and memorable. Rebound is a funny, family friendly film even if it is a little predictable at time. It's a rather tame film for Martin. Tom Arnold makes a cameo in the film, and Megan Mullally stars as the films principal. The film was directed by Steve Carr who directed the family friendly films Daddy Day Care and Dr. Doolittle 2. It's almost like a basketball version of The Bad News Bears. Although, the movie wasn't a huge commercial success I wouldn't be suprised if there was a sequel.
I give this movie five stars because like "Herbie Fully Loaded," and several other pre-teen movies released this past year, this movie is an excellent movie for "that audience." If you are over 30 and don't have kids, you may not enjoy this movie as much as if you had kids because this isn't like a lot of the other Martin Lawrence movies.

Not Martin Finest But a Great First Rate Effort
2 July 2005
By Rosa
- Published on Amazon.com
While this movie has the same formula as movies I seen in the past. Somehow Martin Lawrence sells this movie. He plays a Loudmouth coach who's kick off the team. Must get his act together to get his old job back. While the team He's forced to coach a team that couldn't catch a cold. But under his expertise he refines them.It has plenty a laughs and Wendy Raquel Robinson is great in this movie. Don't let the critics sway you! Go see for yourself.

Hands Down! No Comparison! Easily Martin's best movie
13 April 2006

I like how they didn't try to overwrite this. The movie flowed organically ... the situations were real-life and the performances were dead-on of how people really talk in movies. Another glimpse into the incredible range of Martin Lawrence. I think we should all be as impressed as possible. The writers did the audience a favor by not defying our expectations and keeping this digestible to all by keeping it as even-keeled and reaction-proof as possible. Not every movie can do that!
