Rebound

Roy McCormick is a successful college basketball coach whose temper gets the better of him during a game, costing him his job. With his reputation damaged, he takes on a new role coaching a junior high school team whose players are short on skill and discipline. Roy sets out to turn the group around while working to repair his standing.

The film was directed by Steve Carr, its fourth feature following Next Friday, Dr. Dolittle 2 and Daddy Day Care. Martin Lawrence stars as Roy, with Wendy Raquel Robinson, Breckin Meyer, Horatio Sanz, Patrick Warburton and Oren Williams among the cast. Ed Decter, John J. Strauss and William Wolff wrote the screenplay, and Robert Simonds produced.

Released in 2005, the comedy runs 86 minutes. Made for a reported 45 million USD, it earned about 17 million USD worldwide. On IMDb it holds 5.2 out of 10 from around 14,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.7 out of 10 from roughly 370 votes. A critics' rating of 3.9 out of 10 from 89 reviews places it below the audience scores, which are themselves modest, reflecting a generally muted response to the film.
