As Gray comes to terms with his betrayal, she turns to his roommates for solace and a situation to finish since she can no longer afford the house they were renting. Through this quasi-extended family, she discovers the Grady she never knew, as well as the Gray that she is now becoming, and finds herself getting closer to his lothario friend Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), as friends Sam and Dennis also experience concern dealing with the loss of their friend.

Writer/director Susannah Grant, best known as the scribe leisurely “Erin Brokovich” and “In Her Shoes,” has created a poignant anecdote of cherish, loss, and forgiveness. Kevin Smith shows a serious side as well as provides humorous relief as Sam, the inspirational comment writer (okay, typist) for “Constant Comment Teas.” Musty British actress Fiona Shaw, hysterical as the horny headmistress of the tony boarding school in “Three Men and a Dinky Lady,” dons an American accent and gives a heartwarming performance of a mother who impartial wants her son attend. And Juliette Lewis is a bit chiched in the role of flighty masseuse Maureen, who apparently doesn’t bear a pair of flat shoes.

Though some might accept the romance between Gray and Fritz originate a tiny too snappy, I plan it was handled tastefully given the love-hate relationship between them and how thin the line between the two can be (though the ending was a bit rushed) . Missing from the film was Grady himself – a couple flashbacks with him would have added depth to the relationship between Gray and Grady and given us a chance to come by out what made him such a touchstone for the five lead characters.

The disc’s special features are minimal – impartial lots of movie trailers and commentary – nothing to write home about.

Okay, most of the time a film tries to be fraction comedy, allotment drama and section buddy recount, what it ends up being is a total break! Acquire and Release beats the odds by being all the above while avoiding total break space. It’s that rarest of things, a film that reveals you don’t have to be married or be blood to grieve for somone you esteem and how many emotions grieving can relate… including humor.

There is that chick-flick quality that will have guys begging off, but fortunately for me Kevin Smith acting in a film he didn’t vow was enough to convince me to go. The man can actually act, and not objective in his gain films. Unlike other films where a nonactor tries to step up, Kevin Smith was not a blank area on the camouflage. He held his contain and then some. There’s even a definite degree of self parody of his profound-statement-delivering Restful Bob charater.

Moving on from Kevin, everyone else also did an valid job. Jennifer Garner (Alias), Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood), Julliette Lewis, Sam Jaeger, Fiona Shaw and everyone else turned in strong performances as people trying to advance to terms with the effort of losing a best friend, a fiancee, a provider and a son.

I found myself laughing at the unfavorable yet humorous realism.

From what I understand this is Susannah Grants major motion portray directorial debut, but it didn’t feel like it. Already an extremely well proven mask writer, this may be Susannah’s first movie directing job, but with this many laughs and this remarkable emotion, I know it won’t be her last.
