The portrayal of Boulder, Colorado was highly exaggerated and glorified. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting is horrible. Seriously - ever. None of the characters are believable. If you like garbage, afternoon, TV-quality movies with horribly fake and ridiculous sex scenes, this is for you. This is like the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" without the sisterhood, the traveling, and certainly without the pants.
It reveals many levels of grief in several different people- lovers, close friends, business partners, parents, mystery people that I won't reveal- and links very different people through the death of one man. His character is very amiable and real, nothing like I've ever seen him do before.Also, the scenery is spectacular. It's true and lifelike and these characters are fully occupied. And this movie is not all about fishing. I've had several people be put off this movie by 2 things: they know it involves grief, so they think it must be terribly depressing. It isn't. Catch & Release is one of my very favorite movies. it's breathtaking.
I think Catch & Release is a great adventure and it is entirely unique. Just the images of nature in Colorado are magnificent- rivers, woods, shorelines. Please give it a chance. The second thing that can be off-putting is the presence of Kevin Smith. I do not find this film to be depressing- it is entirely too lighthearted. It's an important theme, and it's here and there, but you won't be stuck in a fishing boat during the entire film.
They learn and grow in very amusing and remarkable ways. Do not underestimate him. Not at all. It's very cool.
It was when the mother of the dead man asks for the engagement ring back. of a kid, especially when he jumped up and down on the fish.
Hell the funeral was the is best part of this movie. This was so bad that I even hated the sound track.
I have wasted my time with some really baaaad movies, but this movie made me want to go out and buy a Van Dame or Seagal movie to foget this one. I wanted to shoot that s.o.b.
I hated the sound track because it was part of this movie and not because it was bad. This starts nowhere and goes downhill from there and very slowly at that.
I am going to stop now because I am getting mad all over again just thinking about this movie.Before I stop there was one moment of really bad taste in this movie that was a very low pont for me. This is truly a time waster of a movie.
The fact it happens in a bathroom is especially fitting.I would like to think it is the kind of thing that would immediately lower your grade in a scriptwriting class. Unfortunately, right after a good enough setup, the writer plops in an element that are so tired and hackneyed and obvious I immediately said to myself "oh no, they're not going to do THAT." If you have seen more than a handful of films that do not star explosions or CGI, you not only see the ending coming, IT CAN BEE SEEN FROM SPACE.
I have no problem with the actors(I have a thing for Jennifer Garner, and I really like Kevin Smith, so I can't give an impartial evaluation of the actors). This movie could have been so much better.
UNFORTUNATELY I GOT MY HOPES UP. or their characters.
The photography was gorgeous. It completely stinks and ruined the film for me.
What makes it all the worse is that there are couple of times during the film (predictably, right when I was about to turn it off) where it misleads you into thinking they are going to go somewhere more creative.But no, they go there.
A woman's plans change abruptly when her fiance dies, and she starts to find things out about the guy, and starts to wonder if she even knew him at all.She starts to dig further into the loops and tangles of his death with things she doesn't fully understand, and she begins an awkward but sweet friendship and love with her fiance's best friend she never liked, as he helps sort out the mess left behind.
