"Tired before it begins, Martin Lawrence's entrance into the lucrative kiddie flick arena never figures how to handle his vibrant spacticity."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1.5/4
"Rebound isn't completely unwatchable, I suppose, but there's just got to be a better way to spend 87 minutes."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

.5/4
"The worst family feature so far this year...Rebound stinks like a rancid pair of sweaty old gym sneakers."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"The movie's bad, but at least it isn't aggressively annoying. It has puke jokes, but hey -- no farts! Put those quotes in your ads, 20th Century Fox."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Carr helms this fluffy formulaic sports fable with all the urgency of an awkward bounce pass...Rebound commits its share of flagrant personal fouls"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

C
"As familiar as it is, 'Rebound' could well have been titled 'Replay,' but although it's just a formula flick, it's not an awful one. Too bad that's not saying much."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/5
"Even by the debased standards of preachy sports movies aimed at kids, this is pabulum."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

D
"It’s a laugh-free exercise in moviemaking by numbers."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

1/4
"Will probably go down someplace in the cinema history books, as it is the first film in which star Martin Lawrence never goes "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!""  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

C
"Another in the endless series of movies about losers and klutzes who overcome lack of talent in one quick montage to learn the meaning of teamwork and beat the meanies. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"Lawrence hogs the spotlight more greedily than Dennis Rodman in his wedding dress-wearing heyday."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"an updated, lifeless version of Hoosiers, and it proceeds like a “choose your own adventure” story where the answers are given for you"  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

1/5
"The funniest joke comes in the credits when it is revealed that it took five writers to come up with a story and screenplay that you and I could have coughed up one morning before lunch, depending on our typing skills."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

1.5/5
"Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Rebound was written, shot, edited, and released over the course of ... let's be generous and say three weeks."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

3/10
"Every cliche-filled line and plot element comes from other, better movies, so why not wait for the upcoming remake of "Bad News Bears"?"  Modamag.com  Susan Granger
