Synopsis

A woman faced with a tragedy discovers the man she loved was not all she imagined him to be in this romantic comedy-drama. Grey (Jennifer Garner) was a beautiful woman who found the man of her dreams in Grady Douglas, and was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with him until he suddenly died only a few days before they were to be married. With her wedding turned into an impromptu funeral, Grey is emotionally devastated but has to deal with the practicalities of her new life alone, including moving out of the house she shared with Grady. Short on cash and in need of emotional support, Grey moves in with two longtime friends, sloppy but philosophical Sam (Kevin Smith) and well-meaning but tightly wound Dennis (Sam Jaeger). Grey also finds herself often chatting with Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), Grady's best friend, through she's always regarded him as a sleazeball. As time passes, Grey discovers that Grady had a secret life he never shared with her -- including a young son from a previous relationship -- and as she tries to come to terms with the past of her former fiancé, she struggles to put her new life on track, and finds herself reevaluating her long-held feelings about Fritz. Catch and Release was the first directorial effort from screenwriter Susannah Grant, whose script credits include Erin Brockovich, 28 Days, and In Her Shoes. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I must agree - a very cute movie even though based on a sad premise. It had comedy, romance, and tissue time all wrapped up in one movie. Worth the watch.

This movie was horrible! Terribly depressing and dark...not at all what I expected after reading the back of the dvd jacket.

I expected to dislike this movie. I was wrong. It's a very enjoyable tale of reconciliation. Gray has to figure out how to be angry at someone who's gone, figure out how she missed the truth, and grieve a lost life love. Her friends are so funny and vascilate between protecting her and telling her the truth, which they know she deserves. Sweet film.
