Amazon.com 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

Waste of time May 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Any movie that starts with a juvenile fight between two lovers should be a sign that it will not be a great indulgence on the bahlf of the movie/DVD watcher. This film is one of those. Even the assemble of the superior female cast of actresses like: Hilary Swank, Lisa Kudrow and Gina Gershon cannot save this movie. Love between two people is universal and we all love differenly. But the idea of arranging fun outings for the remaining spouse after the other one is long gone, is spooky if anything else. Mounrning is personal and we deal with it in our own ways and having friends and family involved in some scheduled string of fun outings is just plain weird. If you are a fan of the romantic comedy there are better ones out there that this one. You can skip this one and not regret it at all.
My daughter and I loved it. May 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
We just finished watching the movie and cried our eyes out. We cried because we were devasted for Holly and then cried because we thought Jerry was so loving and thoughtful to do what he did to help her cope. And then cried when... well you get the idea. It was a great stress reliever and made our hearts smile.
P.S. This Movie Depressed and Disappointed Me May 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
"P.S. I Love You" depressed and disappointed me. It was not the romantic comedy that the trailers and reviews led me to believe; it was too dark and depressing. Instead, "P.S. I Love You" is a romantic drama that chronicles the year-long struggle of Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank of "Million Dollar Baby") to overcome the death of her husband Gerry (Gerard Butler of "300").
Holly is constantly complaining and whining that life isn't good enough for her. Her husband dies of a brain tumor and she's plunged into depression. Then the letters from Gerry begin arriving. They urge Holly to continue living her life, pursuing her dreams. Instead, Holly clings to her dead husband even more. When the letters finally cease arriving, it is as though he has died again. All the while I keep hoping she will fall in love with someone, anyone, even the grungy Harry Connick, Jr. It never happens. In the last minute of the film, the viewer receives a glimmer of hope that she might have a lasting relationship with a handsome musician living in Ireland.
Lisa Kudrow of "Friends" and Kathy Bates of "Titanic" help round out a great cast. Kudrow's comic relief was depleted too soon into the movie when she found her beau. Bates' sour faced character was stern and pious; most of the time, she was dishing out motherly advice. She never approved of Holly's marriage. Swank and Butler were too muscular for their roles. It's quite obvious that they spend a lot of time working out at the gym.
Beautiful New York skylines and Irish farmland and a great soundtrack were not enough to hold my interest. I found myself getting bored. "P.S. I Love You" dragged on and on. One-hundred and twenty-seven minutes is too long for a romantic comedy. When Holly received her last letter, I thought, "Thank the Lord. It's finally over." But her whining and complaining began anew. Poor Daniel (Harry Connick, Jr. of "Independence Day") was her faithful lapdog throughout the ordeal. I kept wanting to tell Holly, "P.S. stop whining and stop complaining. Get over your husband's death (he wasn't that good looking) and get a life."

hillary swank is a great actress--too bad she signed on for this unwatchable nonsense =everything about it stinks-- the lead soon to be dead guy is obnoxious and smarmy-- and he wont die even when he's gratefully dead-- his letters go on and on-- and scene after stupid scene we see them --flashbacks or whatever they were- doing this and that-all embarassing stuff-- the story is so hackneyed and trite we've seen this kind of idiocy a million times-- recently sandra bullock made a dumb unwatchable movie like this that also would serve one well if one was suicidal and wanted another reason to leave this planet !!!!! the direction is terrible--every scene is ugly to look at-- the art direction must have been done by a demented and color blind person--such a great cast too--real actors except for gershon who cant act muchi can understand why actresses like her sign on-- she 's lucky to get any work--but the rest of the cast-- they all have money-i guess its another million bucks another house--whatever--its bad enough that actors are over paid in this stinking culture of ours- but geeeeeeez show some taste/ restraint !!!!!! swank --shame on you !!! how could u have read this script and signed on ???? and i dont understand how a director who did one of my favorite movies in a similar genreLiving Out Loud- a gem and holly hunter at her best !!!how could he screw up so badly w this twaddle ?---this movie i found embarassingly stupid and painful to watch---my wife sat thru it as i kept running out of the room and doing chores---but even she gave up -and just b4 the totally wasted usually very good actor harry connick had his last scene w swank---- 2 actors making the most of material that was truly beneath them---wake up people and make better choices !!!!! yikes !!! avoid this nonsense and waste of time and money and talent !
