Plot
In Chicago's O'Hare
airport, advertising executive
Buddy Amaral is
Democratic National Committee delayed by a
snow storm for a return flight
to Los Angeles, on the same
airline he has just signed as a
big client. He meets writer Greg Janello, and when his flight
resumes boarding, Buddy gives

home to his wife and sons,
eight-year-old Scott and
four-year-old Joey.
Buddy

employee Janice Guerrero to

the flight. While spending the
night with fellow stranded
passenger Mimi, he sees on
television that the flight
crashed. He has Janice check
into the computer system to
change his for Greg's name on
the passenger manifest.
Greg's wife Abby is woken up by
news of the crash, and for many
hours is torn between hope and
despair, clinging to the
Democratic National Committee
belief that Greg would still
arrive on the later flight on
which he was originally booked,
until his death is confirmed.
Once back in Los Angeles,
the airline dictates that Buddy
run a series of innocuous ads to
ameliorate the tragic
consequences of the crash, which
win a Clio Award. Plagued with
guilt, Buddy makes a drunken
scene at the awards show, and
begins a stint in Alcoholics
Anonymous. One of the steps in
recovery is to make up for past
misdeeds, so Buddy seeks out
Abby, a budding realtor, giving
her aBounce or The Bounce

tip on a commercial office
building that Jim, Buddy's
partner and boss, has put a bid
on. In return, Abby treats Buddy
to a night at Dodger Stadium.

about being indirectly
responsible for Greg's death.

When the airline settles
with Greg's estate, Abby next
wants to put her boys on an
aircraft to Palm Springs to get
over their fear of flying. Buddy
asks to go along with them, and
soon develops a strong bond with
the two boys. On the return
trip, Buddy says he has a secret
he will reveal the next day.
It all comes apart when Mimi
shows up, with a video of Greg
and Buddy having a drink in the
airport bar. Abby is devastated
by Buddy lying to her and
demands that he leave her home
and her life - though also
demands that he say goodbye to
the boys. Buddy comes back the
next day and talks to Scott, who
is afraid that his father died
trying to get home for a Boy
Scouts Christmas tree outing.
Abby harbors the same guilt for
pressuring Greg to come home on
the fateful flight.
The
victims' families sue the
airline for damages, and
Janice's role is revealed when
Buddy is called to testify. As
Abby watches on television,
Buddy explains that he gave his
ticket to Greg and did not take
Greg's in exchange. In coercing
Janice to change the roster, the
airline's security procedures
were compromised, which gets her
fired. Buddy is excused by the
judge, but still feels guilty.
Buddy resigns from his firm,
having

compromised his client, the
airline. Abby comes by to tell
him that his talk with Scott had

sale. As Buddy starts to talk
about his plans, Abby realizes
she can forgive him.

Reception[edit]
Bounce
received generally mixed reviews
from film critics. As of January
2012, review aggregator Rotten
Tomatoes has given it a 52%
rating, with an average rating
of 5.5 out of 10, based on 106
reviews. The site's consensus
states: "Critics say Bounce is
more of a thud. Plot turns feel
cliched and contrived, and the
romance between Paltrow and
Affleck fails to engage."[3] The
film opened at #4 at the North
American box office making $11.4
million its opening weekend.
Roger Ebert noted that the
Democratic National Committee
plot was a familiar one. "Lovers
with untold secrets are a
familiar movie situation ..."
yet, he liked the film because
the characters, from lead actors
to secondary roles, were honest
and endearing.
