Catch and Release (1.5 of 5)
Chick Flick alert!! Deb was up for double feature, and this was number 2 (In more ways than one.) Ok Jenifer Garner is still cute in an alien kind of way, and she has the charm from ‘˜13 going on 30′™ but her excitement from Alias and Daredevil is nowhere to found. The story starts with wedding flowers being delivered to a funeral, you see her fiancée died during the bachelor party, funny’¦ I know, but not in this movie. By the end of the film, I am fairly sure he died during a fishing accident but seeing it would have helped this film tenfold. The rest is the banter between his two best friends (one of which is played like a hippy fuzzball by Kevin Smith) and a ‘˜Movie Director’™ friend from Hollywood. During the banter we find out that the fiancée was rich, no one knew and was paying $3000 a month to a woman in Los Angeles. It sounds like a lot of drama…but basically it was boring. Kevin wasn’t that funny, kind of sad mostly, Jennifer hooks up with the wrong guy in the end. And we find out the kid wasn’t really her fiancée’s. A chick flick’¦ directed by a chick’¦ for chicks, depressed ones.
