For those who believe true love lasts beyond this physical plane, P.S. I Love You is a jewel in the romantic-movie crown. With elements of Ghost, Heaven Can Wait, and My Life, the film is an unabashed valentine to the notion of lasting (everlasting?) love. Hilary Swank is Holly, a deeply happy lass married to the most impossibly adorable Irishman on the planet, Gerry (Gerard Butler). When an illness takes him from her, Holly spirals into depression. Then, as if from beyond the grave, communications, gifts, and remembrances from Gerry begin to appear--gestures he'd planned knowing his death was coming. The "communications" with her dead husband could threatened to keep Holly in past, yet they begin to pave a path into her future. Swank, not a traditional romantic actress, is quite moving as Holly, whose grief and confusion is palpable. Butler will win new continents of fans, largely female, as the yummiest honey one could wish for. Special kudos to the supporting cast, including Lisa Kudrow as a Holly pal, and James Marsters and Kathy Bates, always breaths of fresh air onscreen. Under the sure hand of director-writer Richard LaGravenese, P.S. I Love You is touching, sad (have tissues on hand), and heartbreakingly lovely. --A.T. Hurley

 What a funny and tearful creation! May 17, 2008
First, I am AMAZED at the fact that a 21 yr old woman who just graduated college is the source of this amazing film! Not only that, it is a product of her imagination and not a true story which is even more awe inspiring! I adored this movie. I rented this movie without really knowing anything about it- I typically skip through previews or just don't pay attention so I thought this was going to be one of those where I would watch it to the middle and just have to turn it off to do something else. HOW pleasantly surprised I was that not only was I laughing at the many funny situations but the crying- yes, lots of tears because of the despair Holly felt once the love of her life was gone. If you have not seen this film, do not read further b/c I might give away too much info for you. The whole story was amazing- from how they parted to the end when they first met. I guess it has just been too long since I was impressed by a romantic comedy. Holly was a 30 year old widow that was married to her other half for 11 years before he passed away suddenly. But because her husband knew her so well, he took her on an adventure after she thought he was totally gone. PS I LOVE YOU was present throughout the film with each letter he wrote telling her what he had planned for her or for her to just look for a sign. To feel the love of your significant other from beyond was a little creepy at first but then ended up to just have so much unpredictability to it- honestly the whole story was refreshing. I normally think it is silly to buy the book after you have seen the movie first but guess where I am headed next after this review?? That's right, friends! Gonna go make myself cry again! Love it!! If you have not seen this movie- buy it or rent it- you will not regret it!
not much of a comedy May 17, 2008
Good movie if you feel like crying. Not very funny for a comedy though. The actors are great and the story line is good, but I gave it 4 stars because I was expecting more comedy. Good movie, though.
 CRUDE ROMANCE? YUK! May 16, 2008
What happened to the line between what is good taste and poor taste. Gutter talk in my opinion is not appropriate for Romance Movie. Top it off with miscasting - maybe just me, but Hilary Swank is UGLY and there was ZERO chemistry between her and G. Butler. And Kathy Bates cast as her mom? - that was just WRONG. And the sister...first, she couldn't act and second, another complete miscast. If the movie had a different female lead, different mom, and different sister, a rewritten script with all of the profanity thrown out the window, different camera placement, and some proper scene transitions, then maybe, maybe it would have been OK. My better half has this aversion to movies that use FLASH CARD TIME PLATES to keep track of time. He says it is a clear sign someone didn't write the script or want to spend money/time to scout and shoot sets properly.(GREAT CONTRAST to show how it CAN BE DONE would be "Nottinghill"). There seems to be a great deal of mediocrity in films these days. Doesn't anyone know how to make a LOVE STORY without crudeness?
 I Love Hilary, But this is the WORST movie I've EVER seen. May 16, 2008
Maybe I'm biased, because I've never read the book. I didn't even know there was a book. But I do love Hilary Swank and I believe she is a wonderful actress. But this movie was horrendous. First of all, the first scene with the fighting was drawn out and predictable. I took that as a sign of how the rest of the movie would be. Yes, I finished watching the rest of movie to give it a chance, but I had to fight the urge to not get up and walk out instead. Even for a 'romantic comedy' the movie is unrealistic.
Yes, I do believe that the length of Holly's grieving time was appropriate, and so was her attitude towards Daniel. But I thought it was silly that Daniel thought he had a chance with her and it'd only been a couple of weeks...? Months? Kathy Bates as the mom sure is harsh for knowing the situation Holly is in. Though..Lisa Kudrow has moments and some great lines.
I just felt some characters and scenes weren't needed, such as putting Daniel through torture of reading a letter to him?! And then what follows after that reading made me cringe not because I didn't agree with it, but because it was just too soon...and weird given the vibe of the letter, and of Holly's newly found self-awareness.
Also, Holly and her escapade with William seemed unrealistic that it'd be somehow connected to Jerry out of all the men in Ireland. Even though this is addressed, it still gave me a gross vibe for some reason. Maybe because I felt like she was just with this man because it reminded her of Jerry.
Gerald Butler completely steals the film and all I kept waiting for was the next time he'd enter the scene. So, if you're looking for some handsome faces, then you've found the right movie. (Hence the two star rating) But besides the eye candy, I couldn't connect with Holly, I empathized with her situation, but I felt no chemistry projecting from the screen or within the actors themselves. I guess it was just missing that 'feel good' vibe that Holly feels when she realizes that can move on. But does she really move on? Or is because Jerry tells her she can?
In the end, I left empty inside still waiting for the story to really take on a meaning...and I'm usually a tear-jerker for these type of movies. I didn't feel sad. Even once.
Predictable scenes. Predictable lines. Unrealistic interactions. Maybe I'd love this movie more if I had the book.
Amazing, the best move ever May 15, 2008
P.S. I love you is the best film EVER. It is inspiring, beautiful, exciting, sad, happy, and just fabulous. The connections between the characters are strong and believeable. After seeing this movie, all I wanted to do was go home and be with my boyfriend. It really makes you realize that you have to live in the now and never forget how lucky you really are. Gerard bulter is the sexiest man alive : )
