Product Description

Product Description

For a grieving fiancée, learning to love again requires the help of her late love's three best friends.

Amazon.com

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 workmanlike 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

Junky Case- Does not appear to be NEW
This is supposedly a brand new movie, but when it arrived, it looked like junk. The case has ripped plastic and the slip is super wrinkled. It’s too much of a hassle to return it. I will never purchase another “new” movie from this seller ever again.

    This film is fundamentally about how to cope with painful truths; escape with distractions, bottle it up for years, only show the good side of ourselves, blame others for our own failings or what's out of our control, or face it and transmute it into something that's helpful and kind. Every character grapples with this, even the child, and traverses their own story arc without staying stuck in one dimension. They each make mistakes and grow from them. It's so relatable that, by the end, it feels like you're just another friend in the room with these very real-seeming people.

    I'm a fan of every actor and they each create a story that engaged my heart from the beginning. I felt along with each of them, so they did a wonderful job. Garner managed to express the bitter side of grief in a way that humanized her character without vilifying her. There were plenty of moments when her character could have been played a touch too low or too grasping, but Garner's vulnerability kept the character grounded and lovable. Juliette Lewis was just perfect. Olyphant's character seems to be written as a cartoon cutout at first, but he quickly displays an electric presence that gives the guy interest, self-awareness, and depth. Olyphant consistently steals the show; you just want to see what he's going to do next. The love scenes have a focus on the story being told rather than just exposing the actors' bodies. More is said without words, which makes the story more stimulating.

    ***SPOILERS*** The scene in the kitchen when Gray runs to hide just when Fritz is about to express his feelings is mostly well executed, but I wish the frame had pulled back enough to show the gesture Olyphant made with his hand when Garner pulled back. He reached for her in a silent "don't go" that was only partially visible. That movement contributed more to the unspoken conversation, so it really shouldn't have been cropped. The storage room scene where Olyphant played Fritz's self-defense with pained humor felt like a real break-up, and the shadow of disillusioned resolve that crossed his eyes looked like he was living it rather than acting it. Olyphant is consistently magnetic and fun to watch. ***/SPOILERS***

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020
    A very powerful story about understanding, sympathy, and getting to know ones-self. Jennifer Garner's movements portray a woman who slowly starts living again, not as a woman defined by perfection, but by understanding where she can be mature and where she can have fun and learn to be herself. Timothy Olymphant starts as the loyal "bro" of his recently deceased friend and in the end reveals himself to be a sensitive, caring man who has to give the best kiss in the world!

    It's not going to be a movie with tons of comedy; it starts out at a funeral! It's meant for those who understand the strength needed to pick yourself back up after life knocks you down, more than once. The main character isn't the deceased fiance; you're not meant to pity him or think bad of Jennifer Garner's character for what she does, you're meant to grow as she does, finding value in the life she now has.

    If I could give this movie more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. The amount of emotionally mature and emotionally difficult themes that this film bravely tackles is wonderful.

    Jennifer Garner and Timothy Olyphant...how can you go wrong?! Sweet, real, awesome moving, film. Thank you Susanna Grant!

    These two both are scene stealers, and their ability to act and express so much with such subtle movements, facial expressions, as well as the way they speak and how the speak their lines....completely engaging, witty, heartfelt, as well as with depth, and sadness. Two truly gifted artistic talents.

    Really nice to see Timothy Olyphant pick up the camera again - must be an actual passion of is - his character in Broken Hearts Club is also a photographer...and equally compelling and engaging.

    Bravo, direction, writing, and the whole cast, yes Julliet Lewis, is also always pretty amazing as well.

    Thank you Susanna Grant for bring us a touching, moving, heartfelt, and tastefully romantic story, and never going for an easy or cheap way with the development and journey of the main characters.

    Please create more films like this, and please use Jennifer Garner and Timothy Olyphant again :)

    I didn't know about this movie until just randomly searching for Jennifer Garner (big Alias fan!) and when I saw she was the lead with Timothy Olyphant (he is amazing in everything he does....from Justified, to his role in Damages, Broken Hearts Club, and even as the villain in one of the Die Hard films), I figured it was worth renting and I was more than happy.....

    I'd even watch a sequel :)

    I'm a widow which is why I watched but this was tilted on all good hope and intent. In real life, um, not so much the reality.
    I liked the underpinning of hope because when you lose someone - hope is what got you through their passing and into the days after - but in general life moves a bit more "clunckily" along.
    So - what for hope.

    Der Film ist echt Klasse. Ein Frauenfilm durch und durch. Die Schauspieler sind alle echt genial. Die Story sehr gut. Kleine Sprüche die teilweise sehr komisch, aber wahr sind. Wunderschöne Orte, mir geviel die Flußszene sehr schön. Die Natur ist wirklich zum angreifen nahe. Zur Story. Alle müssen mit dem Verlust des besten Freundes und Verlobten zu recht kommen, dabei entwickelt sich das Leben aller weiter. Und es entsteht eine sehr schöne Liebesromanze. Die die Trauer um alles in den Hintergrund stellt.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2010
    It wasn't until I was searching on Amazon for random dvds that I could spend what little money I had on, that I found 'Catch and Release'. Now I must admit that when I was looking at it on amazon it looked rubbish and deathly boring and maybe quite old.
    When I eventually gave in and watched it I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole film! It's safe to say that this film is captivating! Jennifer Garner played her character in such a way that I felt everything she was feeling! I got butterflies and just couldn't look away! The comedy aspect of the film kept me highly amused and I really giggled at parts!
    Once I'd watched the film once, I watched it again every night for the next week because I loved it so much and got something new from it everytime I watched it!
    After watching it endlessly I bought more copies for my friends for christmas and they all loved the film almost as much as me!
    I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good old chick flick! Even if you're doubting this film because of how it looks I would urge you to give it a chance!!
