Catch And Release Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Simple, complicated, brilliant... !

This is one of those films that haven't been advertised to the max, so may easily pass under your radar totally unnoticed.. but it shouldn't !!! If it does you will miss a warm, darkly humerous and sentimental journey of loss, then finding out the parts of your partner you never knew and on to rebirth into a new life after the loss. Helped along with a really great soundtrack (Doves, Foo's, Magic Numbers, Gomez etc etc), and some wonderful acting, this is a really really good movie. I would definately recommend giving this one a go.

Baffled.....

I am definitely baffled as to why this movie was so highly reviewed!!! And I can totally understand why this movie went under the movie goers radars: there's NOTHING to hype about! The movie opens with Garner's character's fiance's funeral. She heads to the bathroom to get some breathing space and while she's sitting in the tub with the curtains drawn she sits in hearing her fiance's best friend have sex with some woman! So this is where the movie takes off. The whole movie is then about how Garner's character develops a relationships with her fiance's best friend, Fitz, (who looks like he was hit with the ugly stick, poor dear!)who,despite having little respect or regard for his best mate's death that he shags a complete stranger in the family's bathroom, turns out to be a really 'decent' guy! ?????!!!Makes me think, that if 'Catch and Release 2' came out and Garner's Grey character had to be the one who died, he'd probably have a 3 day strippers feast to mourn her! This is the really stupid plot, with NOTHING going for it whatsoever. Garner didn't reel me in and I felt no sympathy at all for her plight as she didn't come across as very convincing. Juliette Lewis was perhaps the only actress worth watching, but then again she was just acting her kooky self, a role she's very comfy with. Probably one of the worst Rom Coms I've seen to date, and really boring to watch.AVOID!!!
