Movie Reviews of Catch and Release
Movie Review: A solid drama/romantic comedy movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this movie for 2 reasons. Jennifer Garner and Kevin Smith. I'm a huge fan of the hit show Alias, and would give any movie staring Garner a try (though I must admit I was bored out of my mind with Electra). As for Kevin Smith, I'm a huge fan of his View Askew movies, and it was nice to see him doing a simple acting role in a movie with no connection to anything he wrote or comic books. He was basically "the buddy" in this film, but delivered one of it's most memorable performances. The story is typical romantic drama/comedy that doesn't bring anything new to the table, but the same old stuff works nicely. The only character I didn't care for was Dennis, a moody character who's purpose in the film I couldn't quite figure out. Even so, this was a definite worthwhile DVD purchase.Movie Review: Loved Timothy Olyphant as Fritz
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the movie. The chemistry between Jennfier Garner and Timothy Olyphant is great. I really enjoyed watching Timothy Olyphant. He looks incredibly handsome in this movie. I loved the bad/good boy image he portrayed. He is very sexy, mischievous, sweet, and vulnerable. Sometimes a player and sometimes shy. All in a hot package. The first kiss between Gray and Fritz is amazing.
Although I loved watching the new couple fall in love, I do think that the scene when Gray got in Fritz's bed was a little rushed. It seemed like she was doing it to get even with her dead fiance. It looked more like rebound than falling in love. I do not feel they really got to know each other.
Movie Review: 3.5 Stars: Quirky but Murky
Summary: 4 Stars
Positives:
Jennifer Garner is gorgeous.
Kevin Smith is always a joy.
Julliete Lewis is terrific.
Clever situations.
Good characters (except for Garner's bland persona).
Beautiful scenery.
Entertaining set-pieces
Negatives:
Slow, slow pacing.
Not much humor, not much suspense.
Timothy Oliphant is cloying and smug.
Overall:
Worth watching, but easy to multi-task while doing so.
Movie Review: Cute
Summary: 4 Stars
I wouldn't call this move wonderful. The plot moves quite fast and the lead lady's transformation was also quick. It was also mostly predictable. If you're looking for spectacular acting from Jennifer Garner and Timothy Olyphant, you won't get that. The characters are pretty stereotyped. However he has great smouldering eyes and a look definitely spoke a thousand words. All in all, I liked it. It's an entertaining chick flick, a nice romantic mental getaway.Movie Review: Film with depth
Summary: 4 Stars
Though the studio clearly had no idea how to market this delightful film, it shines amidst more lackluster and formulaic movies. It may not fit into a "comedy" or "drama" category, but the writing and acting portray greater depth - how you can laugh and cry all at once. Showing that life is more that just funny lines or easy love stories, "Catch and Release" offers complex characters and honesty. Beautifully done.
