The Rebound
2009 · 1h 35m · Romance, Comedy
Skip it. The premise of two damaged people dating has potential, but the execution sounds like a forgettable rom-com that trades on tired tropes about rebounds and green card marriages. Without critical validation or a standout cast to elevate the material, this is a safe pass unless you're desperate for something light and undemanding.
Plot
Upon discovering her husband's infidelity, Sandy leaves the suburbs and moves into the city. There, she befriends Aram, a guy whose wife only married him so she could get a green card. Sandy hires Aram to be her nanny, and it isn't long until Aram and Sandy find out they get along wonderfully and start to date. But is their relationship real or is it, in fact, just a rebound for both of them?
