Leave your thoughts about Bounce: Behind The Velvet Rope.
| New York PostJonathan ForemanMuch of the resulting material is very funny, though there are a few times when the filmmakers patronize or mock their subjects in a way that makes you uncomfortable. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardThe breakout star is retired English bouncer Lenny McLean, 49, who memorably declares, "I f***ing hate violence." |
| Low IQ CanadianMartin ScribbsSelf-important knuckleheads bloviate on club life. Though docs are reknown as tools to create empathy, Bounce merely confirms the worst prejudices of its audience. |
| IFilmDave WhiteIn spite of that condescension, it's still fascinating to watch these men keep the disco peace. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrThe picture is obsessed with strength and the use of physical force, though its attitudes are often slippery. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMindless, shoddy (lurching zooms, no color correction, an entire reel out of sync) depiction of some very big guys who work as bouncers. |
