There really can't be enough movies adapted from Elmore Leonard novels; his sinuous storylines and fluid, surprising dialogue give any movie a boost from the start. In The Big Bounce, laid-back Owen Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Shanghai Noon) plays Jack, a small-time crook trying to lead an easier life in Hawaii. Trouble is, he can't keep out of trouble, and when he does stay clean, trouble finds him--in this case, in the bikini-clad form of Nancy (Sara Foster), the mistress of a local developer who gets turned on by the whiff criminal activity. She lures Jack into a scheme that ultimately involves a solid cast including Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, Gary Sinise, Bebe Neuwirth, Willie Nelson, and more. Foster doesn't bring much to movie besides her alarmingly sculpted body and the ending peters out, but The Big Bounce has enough snap and crackle that you don't miss the pop. --Bret Fetzer

 Just a laid back island movie April 28, 2009
Scott Lyon (Clearwater, FL)
If you put this DVD in expecting a riveting, nail-biting caper, you will be sorely disappointed. But if you want a funny, light-hearted movie where the splendid island backdrops are an omni-present character of the ensemble cast, this is a great movie to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon with a rum drink in hand.
 A pleasure to watch, again and again..... March 7, 2009
W. Gonzalez (Atlanta, Ga. USA)
What a great cast!!!! Owen Wilson and Morgan Freeman both really gave the kind of subtle, genuine performances that show what great talents they are, Charlie Sheen and Gary Sinse also shine.
I know many panned this film for not being all it coud be, but if you take it as it is, a fun romantic comedy, with a great cast of colorful characters, you will enjoy this movie more than once. Owen Wilsons performance is what made it all work, he was the catalyst that overcame all the issues discussed in other reviews. This is just a fun movie!!!
 Horrible September 29, 2008
Carrie (Roseburg, OR USA)
Absolutely horrid movie. I absolutely love Morgan Freeman, but I don't know what he was thinking taking this role. It was such a huge let down!
Product Placement April 27, 2007
David S. Schwartz MD (florida)
The only enjoyment I got from this movie was counting the number of product placements!!!
They even have a product placement individual listed in the credits.
Has ALL the elements of a light-hearted, fun comedy January 14, 2007

Hilarious performances by Owen Wilson and Charlie Sheen. A sexy player in Sarah Foster, and the INFAMOUS narrative ability of Morgan Freeman. He is so good at narrating, I assume he writes his script. Every element of a fun, light hearted comedy is here, including appearances by Willie Nelson and Gary Sinise
