Missing: this movie's plot.

It's sexy, offbeat fun for the most part, but it's way too laid-back for its own good and, in the end, obstinately refuses to be anything more than the sum of its highly promising parts.

Best approached as a Come to Hawaii advertisement with a wisecracking Wilson as your happy tour guide.

Newcomer Foster cites Lauren Bacall as a precursor, but her ingnue fatale is more like a lost Olsen triplet.

Sheen, too, seems to particularly relish his sad-sack character, a pathetic loser of a rube named Bob Jr. He's hysterically funny at times injecting the film with just the type of pathetic silliness the rest of it sorely lacks.

Audience Reviews for The Big Bounce

Jan 30, 2013Most memorable moment for those who have seen this film - the hotness of Sara Foster. It was an ideal that not even Foster could live up to in subsequent films. Other than that, the Big Bounce is big rubbish put on the screen by those who ought to have known better. The film thinks it is witty but really is a big pity.John B Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2010This is a great movie that is always fun to watch. The plot is great, the characters are really fun to watch and the Hawaii backdrop is a nice touch. Owen Wilson, to me, is always funny and this was no exception. I really like the comedy approach to noir, for some reason it just really works.Conner R Super Reviewer

Sep 19, 2010Jack (Owen Wilson) is a low-key thief in Hawaii, looking for a scam after getting fired from a construction job. He winds up working for district judge Walter Crewes (Morgan Freeman), doing odd jobs and gazing at Nancy (Sara Foster), the hooker mistress of the construction magnate (Gary Sinise),from beginning to end, the leading female character, Nancy, is central to the plot of the story, Heists almost get pulled, fates almost intersect, but not quite....Apart from some beautiful shots of Hawaii and some kewl cliff diving footage, there was nothing that really grabbed me about this movie......♥Robyn Super Reviewer
