When the groom dies during a bachelor party
rafting trip, his wedding becomes his funeral -- and a bad hair
day for his bride.
It's a pretty peculiar film when she finds
out he led a double life and fathered a son. Both mother and
son show up to collect money from his family.
This is supposed to be a bittersweet story
about love and loss and second chances, but there's not a genuine
laugh or heart-felt emotion in the whole thing.
It just went in too many directions with
no real point.
And it sure did not tickle my funny bone. |
Something smells fishy, and it just may
be this film.
Jennifer Garner stars in Catch and Release,
a romantic comedy that has every cliche in the book, except romance
or comedy.
It's an unfunny premise with an equally
funny script, thanks to writer/director Susannah Grant.
And unlike fish or relatives, this one
stinks right away! |
The movie, Catch and Release, is
a romantic comedy of love lost, when her fiance dies right before
their marriage, and with this set up, the planned wedding turns
into a funeral.
The film starts off like it might amount
to something, but then gets tangled up in unlikely twists and
turns.
The picture tries to be too many things
and succeeds in being none, in my view. |
