Catch and Release.

Movies......they are a favorite past-time to many. It's a good way to find humor, forget the day's headaches, destress, have quality time with someone, enjoy your own quiet time and have a cry. There are so many subjects of movies out there and each can help to make us feel better in some way. We can be super heros, watch our fantasy relationship/dream come to life, get lost in some animated surreal character with our kids. Whatever the subject, most movies have some type of drama or adventure to them.

I, myself, just watched a movie that I enjoyed very much. It's a 2007 movie called catch and release. It has two of my favorites actors in it (Jen Garner and Tim Olyphant). I won't go into it in full detail, but I'll give you the basic idea. It's about four male friends. All of which have clicked and have become best friends. Each is very different in uniqueness and brings different aspects out in each other and they still have a blast with each other. One friend becomes engaged (in steps Jen Garner to the picture). The guys love and adore her. She becomes just one of the guys and they all get along great. Fishing is a favorite past-time of the guys and there was a bachelor fishing party planned, when tragedy strikes and affects the five people mentioned above.

What happens next is just an amazing tale. It makes you think just how well do we know each other, what secrets remain hidden - meaning do we always tell every little detail about our pasts? Some things we forget or are buried and we just never give it a thought. Anyway, back to the movie, it is a wonderful story based on each of these people, what happens to them, what they exerience in their journeys, how they interact and mingle with each other and other people brought into their lives. There is humor, healing, dignity, braveness and love. You'll end up adoring the characters, rooting them on and have laughs in between. There is a surprise or two where you'll be like....ut oh.....but the way things are dealt with is very honorable. These are caring individuals who will go through some lengths but are triumphant in their struggles. Oh, and Juliette Lewis also stars in this amazing tale. Should you chose to watch it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you are looking to get lost and forget your struggles and worries for just a short period of time, this is a great movie to get lost in.

Brightest blessings.
