Catch And Release (DVD) ... released 23 July, 2007 at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Jennifer Garner's lips grow more Angelina-esque every year. In the romantic comedy Catch and Release, Garner (Alias,13 Going On 30) plays Gray Wheeler, a young woman whose fiance dies unexpectedly before the wedding, leaving Gray unable to afford her home--so she moves in with her fiance's best friends, Sam (Kevin Smith, director of Clerks and Dogma) and Dennis (Sam Jaeger, Lucky Number Slevin). But the presence of another old friend named Fritz (Timothy Olyphant, Deadwood) leads to the unveiling of a secret: Gray's fiance had a child with another woman. Catch and Release lacks the clear story structure that most romantic comedies are built on, but trades it for a richer sense of the ambiguities of human relationships. Garner, though lovely and personable, is a bit bland--fortunately, she's surrounded by actors with all kinds of edges, including Smith (who shows an unexpected and uncloying earnest side), Fiona Shaw (from the Harry Potter movies) as the fiance's grieving mother, and Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear), who demonstrates once again her powers as a fearless and surprising actress. Catch and Release is an uneven movie with a remarkably elegant visual style that sometimes clashes with the workman-like dialogue, but it can't be written off as the same old Hollywood claptrap. Though a happy ending is inevitable, the path it takes has some surprising turns and flashes of unexpected emotional depth.-- Bret Fetzer

I was pleased to see that my Amazon DVD Rental service had finally sent me this DVD at the end of last weekend, considering it has been on my rentals list for over a month now! I have been eagerly awaiting this film for a while, as I am a big fan of Jennifer Garner and I had quite high hopes for this, as I have read quite a few good things about it, so here we go with the review. Jennifer Garner plays the lead character of Gray, a young woman who has just lost her fiancé in an accident. She is forced to hold his funeral on what would have been the couple's wedding day, complete with 3 tiered wedding cake in the fridge. After a traumatic funeral, Gray can't ...  Read the complete review

I am a man, we invented the wheel but I can still manage to watch a chick flick without expressing a desire for explosions and violence. Catch and Release is definitely a chick flick because women will love it more than men. You may not have heard of it because it wasn’t really a huge hit on release but that doesn’t mean it’s no turkey. The film stars Jennifer Garner as Gray, a young woman who on the eve of getting married suddenly finds herself a widow without even walking up the aisle. Distraught and unable to cope on her own, she moves in with the best friends of her deceased partner. Soon she discovers the secrets her fiancée kept from her such ...  Read the complete review
