A woman faced with a tragedy discovers the man she loved was not all she imagined him to be in this
romantic comedy-
drama.
Grey (
Jennifer Garner) was a beautiful woman who found the man of her dreams in
Grady Douglas, and was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with him until he suddenly died only a few days before they were to be married. With her wedding turned into an impromptu funeral,
Grey is emotionally devastated but has to deal with the practicalities of her new life alone, including moving out of the house she shared with
Grady. Short on cash and in need of emotional support,
Grey moves in with two longtime friends, sloppy but philosophical
Sam (
Kevin Smith) and well-meaning but tightly wound
Dennis (
Sam Jaeger).
Grey also finds herself often chatting with
Fritz (
Timothy Olyphant),
Grady's best friend, through she's always regarded him as a sleazeball. As time passes,
Grey discovers that
Grady had a secret life he never shared with her -- including a young son from a previous relationship -- and as she tries to come to terms with the past of her former fiancé, she struggles to put her new life on track, and finds herself reevaluating her long-held feelings about
Fritz.
Catch and Release was the first directorial effort from screenwriter
Susannah Grant, whose script credits include
Erin Brockovich,

In Her Shoes.
