Movie: Catch and Release (2007) (only vaguely spoilery)

I didn't see the whole thing. Caught only the last hour or so. What I did see was cute, LOVED Kevin Smith with a great sweaty passion. Juliette Lewis was adorably batty and I couldn't get over the fact that Mrs. Dursley was in it (I am positive that she was playing another character and that Jennifer Garner was NOT engaged to Duddykins). I also found the plot questionable. Grief is a layered and complex emotion that requires more time then one might imagine to work through. Catch and Release, I think, didn't span enough time. The ending was too pat, as well. As an exploration of love and grief, I can't say that I bought it. Not at all. It didn't even get close to doing for me what, say, P.S., I Love You did.

However!

That first kiss between Timothy Olyphant and Jennifer Garner liked to knock my socks off. He just LOOKS like a good kisser, with that wide, smiling mouth and strong jaw.

Yeah, I'm shallow. I know.

But I believed them. I believed HIM. And the way she smiled and was shy and kinda blushy around him ... Oh, and the moment in the storage unit with her in the wedding dress that she never got to wear. Yeah.

And ... kisses.

For the win.
