Rebound is about as unmotivated as Coach Roy, doing nothing to distinguish itself from any other movie ever made about winless teams that learn to stop losing.

It's just another bland, junior-high-basketball riff on "The Bad News Bears" formula, one that takes every single dramatic cue from the underdog sports-movie playbook.

Scores a few chuckles while following a familiar game plan.

It's an abysmal movie.

Viewing the new Martin Lawrence kiddie movie is more enjoyable than watching my dog eat a desiccated toad carcass he pried off the road, but only marginally so.

The movie and its star just aren't that funny.

Why -- when there are so many funnier, smarter, more gifted performers who can't get arrested in Hollywood -- why, for the love of all that's good and holy, does Martin Lawrence get to keep making movies?

Maybe not the most original basketball film, but Rebound has a pretty nice message, and it is nice to see the characters on the team develop as time goes on.

Rebound is nowhere near a good movie but a movie trying to teach you something goofy about basketball.
