Catch and Release
September 5th, 2007 by Jennine
During my viewing of this movie I thought I was enjoying it, maybe I was but in hindsight it was one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long, long time.
There is no base for reality with Catch and Release, even with actors such as Jennifer Garner and Kevin Smith, it was a shocker. To name an obvious flaw to start with, no woman in her right mind would be calm about the news that her deceased fiance had another girlfriend and had a child with this person, let alone welcome her with open arms into the fold. Granted there was some awkwardness but apparently this was all resolved over an impromptu dinner party. Sorry, I just don’t buy that at all.
Another error is that people need time to grieve, they do not fall in love with the best friend of the deceased fiance. No matter how bad the relationship is, when someone dies they can do no wrong. Death washes away your sins, albeit temporarily.
Besides those two plot holes, the acting from all concerned was rigid, the story line weak at best, which makes me ask do these people just need the money because they really didn’t look like they were enjoying it at all.
So my suggestion here is walk away people. Don’t get sucked in by the temptation of “romantic comedy” or the smiling Jennifer on the front. Walk away otherwise you will just waste 90-120 minutes of your life.
