Catch and Release

The movie begins with Grey (Jennifer Garner) and the funeral of her fiancé, Grady. They were supposed to get married that day but an accident that happened during his bachelor party weekend, Grady ends up being killed. When Grey sees the flowers that were never cancelled arrive at the house she loses it and runs into the bathroom. While Grey hides in the bathtub Grady's best friend Fritz (Timothy Olyphant) takes the caterer into the same bathroom and end up having sex while Grey is there.

Grey goes to attorney's office to find out what is going to happen to Grady's estate. The attorney tells Grey that Grady had an investment account worth $1 million. Since Grady did not have a will and they were not married Grey gets nothing. Grey can no longer afford the rent of the house her and Grady were going to move into after the wedding, Grey moves in with Grady's friends Dennis (Sam Jaeger) & Sam (Kevin Smith). Fritz is also staying out the house because he lives in LA.

As Gray investigates Grady's investment account, she finds that every month, he transferred $3,000 out of the account. She later learns that her precious fiancee Grady was not the man she thought. Grey turns to Fritz for comfort and they begin a relationship in secret. When Dennis questions Grey about the relationship with Fritz, Gery blows it off as a fling. Fritz gets upset and heads back to LA. Once Grady's estate and personal issues are in order Grey goes and finds Fritz in L.A.

The movie was cute. Your typical romantic comedy with a little bit of death. That actually made it more interesting. I thought they were going to show a picture of Grady and it turn out to be Ben Affleck that would have been funny but apparently they did not have that sense of humor. I give this movie a 5 out of 10.
