Catch and Release on DVD today
Catch and Release releases today
Hmm. Another romantic comedy release this week. What’s up with that? Anyway, Catch and Release comes out today on DVD. The movie is basically about a woman who struggles to cope after her fiance dies. She finds out that he has kept numerous secrets from her throughour their time together. It seems like this movie could be different than your typical romantic comedy. The cast includes Jennifer Garner, Sam Jaeger, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, and Kevin Smith. Not a stellar cast, but it works. Jaeger and Olyphant are both television actors, that have starred in various TV series.
Kevin Smith is the biggest suprise here. I couldn’t believe he was in this movie. I guess he’s trying to get his acting career going. He’s no Silent Bob, that’s for sure. An interesting fact, Jason Lee was originally contacted to play this role, but he declined in order to play Syndrome’s voice in the Incredibles. So, Kevin Smith was casted. The director of this film is Sussannah Grant. She makes her directing debut in this film. She has written for such films as Ever After, Erin Brokovich, & Charlotte’s Web. So she is a master chick flick writer. If you want to score some points with the girlfriend, watch this movie with her!

this movie was actually not at bad as i thought. while the previews seem to focus more on jennifer garner’s character’s struggle with her fiance’s death, the movie actually focuses on how it has affected everyone. kevin smith was actually very funny in this movie too.
