Do you want to read my review of Catch & Release?
I am not sure why the last 2 reviews I’ve had to do revolved around death.
It was a bit disconcerting when I watched Catch and Release. I mean sure the movie had its bits that were quite funny but the overhanging theme is really grief and mourning.
How do we get over grief? What is life like after someone dies?
Is it that easy for life to carry on? Can we just fall in love so soon after?
Did Gray love her fiance or not? Did she fall out of love after death?
Do we have a method of getting over a grief? The movie portrayed it quite realistically. Life moves on, you gotta deal with what’s ahead, you’ve got to pick up after the dead person, you find out things about the person you never knew… does it make grieving harder?
Some times we just want to be stuck in a moment, where everything stops.

In beliefs like Buddhism death is openly accepted as a natural part of life. I’ve been to funerals where people actually smile because the deceased had been a good person and they know he will be reborn in a higher state. So depending on what you believe, death is not necessarily a bad thing.
