Catch and Release (II) (2006)
7/10
Clever rom-com that's actually funny
6 November 2022
I found this film charming. I came in with absolutely no expectations, and was happily surprised. It's lighthearted, well made, has a satisfying amount of twists and turns and everything looks good. There's tongue in cheek slapstick and actual funny jokes - as opposed to a lot of romantic comedies. And of course Kevin Smith is a treat. I also enjoyed the reversal of the story line, where the most dramatic event has already taken place. No need for a bunch redundant scenes leading to a dramatic accident that you already know the outcome of because it's in the tagline of the movie. Instead the story can focus on tracing the havoc wreaked by lies and secrets

This movie comes across like a clever indie with a high gloss finish. Would recommend to anyone looking for distraction with a bit of depth.
