After a pre-wedding accident leaves her single, Gray Wheeler (Jennifer Garner) is trying to rebuild her life when she makes an unwelcome discovery about the man she almost married. A secret bank account reveals a hidden fortune from which monthly payments are made to a massage therapist (Juliette Lewis) and her young son. Erin Brockovich writer Susannah Grant - making her big-screen directorial debut - here tries hard to blend grief and light-hearted moments into a weepie comedy drama. However, it rarely works as the contrived storyline stretches both credibility and goodwill. Garner plays the shell-shocked fiancée with quiet gravitas, but co-star Timothy Olyphant (from HBO series Deadwood) is far too slimy as the duplicitous best friend that she eventually falls for. The fishing terminology from which the title is taken could equally stand as a metaphor for just how pointless this is.

For a grieving fiancée, learning to love again requires the help of her late love's three best friends.
