Review: “Rebound”

Martin Lawrence stars in the latest sports comedy about a coach teaching a group of kids and learning how to be a better person in Rebound (PG). Lawrence plays Coach Roy, a man that gets banned from coaching college basketball for bad behavior and ends up coaching a team of misfits at a junior high. There is nothing really new here as the plot sticks firmly to the old and worn formula. However, the kids stand out and make this variation worth seeing. There is plenty of heart and quite a few genuine laughs to be had in this more-than-decent family flick.
