The Rebound

With his packing almost finished, Roman Eros is all set for his big trip, but there's just one more thing he needs before he leaves. Roomie Princeton Price has a pretty good idea of what Roman is hoping for, and thinks he might be able to give Roman the fond farewell he wants. The game is over but the hard play has just begun, as newbie Aaron London and Dacotah Red engage in a little overtime once they get home from the gym. It's a confusing time for poor Carter Woods, a guy he was joking with, sends him some pretty psycho texts. Carter's stress only intensifies when Jeremy Spreadums shows up on his doorstep. Carter tells him the texts crossed a line, and Jeremy tells him he's sorry. He tells Carter he can be reconciled with him, and Carter gives in. Kalani Walker and Donte Thick have been window fucking each other since Kalani moved into the next building, but today is the day that they bridge the gap between them and see what it's like in the flesh.

Directed by Tucker Scott, Cameron Dalile, The Rebound leans on a strong ensemble — Carter Woods, Dacotah Red, Donte Thick — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
