Awful

This movie is awful. Must be part of the Charlie Sheen curse. Dude just can't be in a good flick. Gary Sinise was a throw away. What was he on screen for, 4 minutes? I like Owen Wilson a lot, and... Full review

Considering the cast and the fact that it was an Elmore Leonard adaptation, I wanted to see this flick. However, it was disappointing. The film (though very small) moved at an extremely lethargic pace with hardly anything happening (except in... Full review

Wow, how do you take the talents of so may good actors and put them together and end up with a piece of trash? Owen Wilson, Gary Sinise, Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, Willie Neslon, Bee Bee Neuwirth? Maybe it all falls... Full review

It's movies like this that give modern-day films a reputation as "garbage," especially among classic-film lovers. I try to defend today's movies to them when they tell me today's movies are all morally bankrupt. Well, in this case, I have... Full review

Hartford Courant
The Big Bounce" was badly messed up by the movies in 1969, but this version gets it almost right. The Big Bounce" unwinds with the ease and casual menace of a snake in the sunlight, and the best thing about it, besides that top-notch cast, is the mood. ... Full Review

February 1, 2005 -- "The Big Bounce" is not a bad film, despite what you may have heard, but there is no doubt it should have been a lot better. The cinematography in the film is great by Jeffrey L. Kimball ("Windtalkers"). ... Full Review

one of the best comic actors of his generation -....Sure, it has an impressive cast, with frontman Wilson -....Featuring turgid helmsmanship from George Armitage (last stint in the director's chair, 'Grosse Point Blank', was vastly superior) and wholly uninspiring screenplay, it's only the lush tropical scenery of 'The Big Bounce' that makes it worth watching..... ...

What a disappointing, frustrating film The Big Bounce is! The film's once saving grace, perhaps, is the debut of Sara Foster, who is naughty and gorgeous in all the right ways, and she and Wilson have a terrific chemistry that might have served another film better. ... Full Review

a handful of hard-working character actors manage to salvage it from time to time, you're not exactly talking about a great piece of filmmaking.....Though The Big Bounce doesn't qualify as a terrible movie (the cast, the locations, and a few truly funny moments salvage it from that classification), it does mark the first real disappointment from director George Armitage.....his persona is simply too insubstantial to support an entire story..... ...
