Catch and Release - quick review

Picking up the pieces, Gray (Jennifer Garner) faces a different life when her fiance Grady unexpectedly dies, and she inadvertently discovers an unknown side of Grady. Gray is buoyed by Grady's friends, Sam, Fritz and Dennis, as they all acclimate to losing a close friend in their own different ways.

I found the film to be a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, easily worthy of a matinee viewing. Garner provides a winning performance, and the supporting cast is sound. Sam (Kevin Smith) pretty much provides a lot of comic relief, and the script gives us some regular people dealing with tragedy and trying to get back to the business of living. It's a refreshing reprieve to films with dark and twisted casts of characters that exist simply to provide an antagonist in a film. In contrast, this film offers a look at decent characters adjusting to a world without a friend, but also coming to grips with what he left behind in the world.

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
