Editorial Review:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great movie.
Wow this movie has some mixed reviews. I really like this movie and I dont know why. The plot is kind of messed up since the fiance has a girlfriend. So from that side of it I guess its not a good movie but it really has some great funny parts and since it has jen and the love of my life juliette its a great movie.lol. :)
Rating:  - Heartwarming and realistic with a happily ever after ending
Catch and Release
First, don't expect the title to have anything at all to do with the movie. It's mentioned once in the entire film and not much of a connection. Second, it has a HEA (happily ever after).
Grady is killed in some freak accident and his fiancé Gray (Jennifer Garner) ends up finding out many of his secrets after his death. First, it turns out he has over a million dollars in a trust fund that he never mentioned. Second, it turns out he has a lover and ... Read More
Rating: - Good bits, bad bits
I don't think this movie deserves the very good or very bad reviews.
I think it lacks a polished ending, some of the characters are not very well filled out (where are Gray's parents? Girl-friends?) & editing is what has killed this movie. Several scenes that possibly wound up on the cutting room floor (the original director's cut was over 3 hours) might have been better in the movie, and vice versa.
I don't think the central romantic relationship is that unbelievable. ... Read More
Rating:  - Falls Flat
I barely made it through this movie. The story contained an endless string of awkward moments with nothing uplifting in between. Well, it tried to be uplifting in places, but fell flat. There was no drama and no successful comedy. The actors gave monotone performances and none of the characters were particularly likeable, especially Jennifer Garner's character. In my humble opinion, watching this movie was, frankly, a waste of time.
Rating:  - All the right pieces - Horribly put Together!!
I pride myself on being able to watch a movie all the way through - giving it a chance until the very end, no matter how bad I think it is. This movie is now one of the only 2 or 3 movies I have stopped watching!
The actors were good, no complaints. They are what they were supposed to be, none of them great - but good for this kind of movie.
There were elements of a good movie, some good pieces, nothing original or new, but once again - good for what it was supposed to be...
