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 son in another state. And he's actually been sleeping with this lover and conceived the son DURING the time he was with Gray (Jennifer Garner). Gray ends up moving into Grady's place that he shared with his friends Sam and Dennis because now that he's dead, she can't afford the house they were going to live in together. Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), an old friend of Grady's from California, stays for a few weeks too.

The scenery is breathtaking. It takes place in Boulder Creek, Colorado. The relationships that evolve through the movie are interesting, heartwrenching, and heartwarming. SPOILER ALERT---Dennis falls for Gray, Gray falls for Fritz, and Sam falls for the mother of Grady's son, Maureen (Juliette Lewis). And, as it turns out, the boy is NOT Grady's. But for some reason, Grady paid Maureen money every month because he wanted the kid to have a better life. By the end of the movie, you really like most of the characters, even Grady (who lied a LOT). And after Gray makes a verbal blunder and Fritz goes running home, she chases after him all the way to Encino, California. Where Fritz gets the best line of the entire movie, "What took you so long?"

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. :)

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. Attraction is a strange thing. I also think people who say Gray wouldn't have gone for Fritz perhaps miss the point that ours AND Gray's first impression of him is supposed to be proven to be incorrect. Perhaps a couple of scenes to help us warm to him might have helped?

All in all I don't think this was a disatrous movie but sadly I think it could have been so much better as the central premise is an interesting one and it had a good cast.
