The multiple story threads make it a little unfocused from a thematic standpoint, but it's a generally well-executed lark, neither too serious nor too silly for its subject matter.

At times I was entertained; other times, I just scratched my head.

The film's slight, quirky characters are driven by a soundtrack designed to tell us exactly how to feel. And perhaps that's not such a bad thing--in this case, something had to.

Although extremely slow moving and hard to sit through, 'Catch and Release' focuses on characters who genuinely care about each other.

That this movie doesn't find a way out of the morass of cliché and triviality isn't surprising, but it is disappointing.

[Garner] is moving up the likeability ladder to Sandra Bullock/Julia Roberts levels.

Ugh.

The mark of a good romantic comedy is whether it can make you care if the couple in the poster wind up being an item by the final reel. At the end of 'Catch and Release,' Cupid's intrigues and caprices are less involving than a typical State of the Union

Sadly lifeless.

Catch and Release is a little one that gets away.
