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 |

GREAT idea,Wonderfull Acting,P.S.somethings missing |
I couldn't wait to see this film just by watching the trailer,but the trailer is the movie.
P.S.is still entertaining,and worth seeing,but its confussing sometimes.
This movie should have been one of the biggest hits of 2008,but somethings missing,and I don't know what.
The idea is original,the acting wonderfull,but P.S.its not a great film. |

Funny, sweet, and sappy |
"P.S. I Love You" is the story of Holly (Hilary Swank), a young widow whose recently deceased husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler), launches a posthumous plan of helping his beloved wife survive her first year without him. To help Holly deal with her grief, Gerry arranges for a series of special gifts and letters to be delivered to Holly after his death. With the help of her family and a few girlfriends, Holly begin to lift herself out of her depression and embrace the chapters of her life that have yet to come.
This is a sweet story that's romantic and incredibly bittersweet. The movie includes many flashbacks that depict the life Holly and Gerry shared together, which are touching and allow the audience to connect with Holly and feel her pain. There are also several beautiful sequences shot in Ireland and a strong group of supporting cast members. Obviously, so much of the film's events are incredibly unrealistic, and I also didn't care at all for Holly's relationship with the oddball David (Harry Connick, Jr.), but fortunately the film resolved that subplot very well toward the end of the film. "P.S. I Love You" is a decent movie about love, loss, and living life to the fullest, but there are definitely better romantic films out there. |

Gerard Butler singing |
|
For those who did not know that Gerard Butler could sing, he played the Phantom in the movie version of Phantom of the Opera. So no surprise that he can sing. If you have not seen his performance in that movie, buy or rent it. Exceptional. |

Uniquely Formulated Chick-Flick |
***CONTAINS SPOILERS***
P.S. I LOVE YOU is one of those films that falls firmly into the "chick-flick" category. The story surrounds the grieving widow, her mother, and her friends, and how they all come together to help heal after the death of the studly husband. Sound schmaltzy for you guys out there? It might be.
But it is unique for a couple of reasons...
First is that one of the main characters, Gerry (Gerard Butler, 300) is dead. Although we meet him for a brief moment early on and during a series of flashbacks, he is, in essence, not there. We also don't get to watch him die. The death is startlingly quick, and it jerks the viewer to full attention because it is this sudden loss we see and feel via Gerry's wife, Holly (Hillary Swank, Freedom Writers), who also senses the loss of Gerry as extremely sudden -- due to a brain tumor, or so we're told.
The other interesting thing is that Holly learns more about her husband after his death than during their short marriage. She travels to Ireland (where they initially met) at the behest of Gerry who, during his illness, arranged for Holly to have a life after his demise. He does this post-mortem trickery by arranging for messages to be dropped off to her at various times and from various people around New York. Initially seeming to be macabre, the story rapidly evolves into ...something more. Holly's trip to Ireland with her two best friends Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon) reveal to Holly that there's a lot more life out there after losing your soul-mate. And she finds it in unique and disturbing places.
Another unique quality was that Holly's mother, Patricia (Kathy Bates, The Golden Compass) turned out to be an accomplice within the entire story's machinations, something that took even me by surprise. Pleasantly. I also enjoyed the eventual dead-end relationship Holly ended up having with Daniel (Harry Connick Jr., The Iron Giant) that I thought would turn out very differently. And Holly's Ireland love interest, William (the hunky Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Weeds) figures heavily in Holly's past and, possibly, her future.
But even with all of this uniqueness, the story as a whole turns out fairly predictable. The grieving widow heals (albeit unusually), friends help her, mother helps her, and new friends and lovers make her grope for reason and what her life now means. It is schmaltzy, so just be prepared for that. Your wives and girlfriends will probably love it if you rent it for them, though. |
