Roy McCormick (Martin Lawrence) is a college basketball coach more famous for his temper than for his coaching ability. After one of his rages gets him banned from the sport, Roy takes a job coaching basketball at a middle school in an attempt to repair his reputation. Amazingly, what Roy began as a show of rehabilitation begins to genuinely change him, and he learns to care for his team. His relationship with local mom Jeanie (Wendy Raquel Robinson) is a good influence as well.

Lawrence coasts on star power, genially sending up his bad-boy persona. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 07/05/2005

Don't misunderstand me. This isn't a very good picture by any stretch of the imagination. All I'm saying is that it isn't a bad one, Carr and Lawrence keeping things relatively bouncy and benignly innocuous... Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg Zap2it.com 07/05/2005

An underdog sports saga that skips nary a cliche on its nearly laughless journey. Go to Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 11/18/2019

Even the teenaged misfit audiences to whom "Rebound" is targeted will lose patience with the film's uninspired gags and lazy writing. Go to Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International 03/01/2007
