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 cast, pot holes in the story August 6, 2008

************ SPOILER **************
First is my disclaimer: I am indeed a "chick" and needed a good cry and a good laugh when I rented this.
I perpetually resist the nudges of my good girlfriends to dive into your typical girl movies. This one, however, was too tempting to leave on the shelf. The cast alone drew me in and I was not disappointed by their performances. Some inconsistencies in the story, however, pockmarked them.
In the beginning of the film after Gerry has passed on it is difficult to sort out the relationships between Kudrow, Gershon, Swanks and the sister. Holly refers to her sister by relationship, but the other two females who tag along don't seem like best friends; rather, they appear to be more like cousins, more distant sisters or friends from work. The relationship between those three never seems believable or relatable. Regarding the handsome one night stand, that particular scene is entirely out of context with Holly's character. As one reviewer pointed out, why doesn't Holly, the grieving survivor of a 10 year marriage, know who her late husband's best friend is? That seems like a fairly major hole considering the role he plays later in the movie.
Apart from the above and several minor other objections, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie's "face value". The couple is cute (if not exceedingly so) and witty. Together and void of any outside influences they fit their roles well. I enjoyed their chemistry enough to cry when Gerry died. I also loved watching Kathy Bates as Mom. It's very easy to imagine her as the steely eyed mother sans sugar coating that is slightly less than comforting towards her daughter, but no less devoted.
All in all, if it's that time of the month, this is a good choice. My three stars is based almost entirely on hedonistic value and not on merit.
 Great movie. A must see.. August 4, 2008

Hillary Swank should receive an oscar for her performance in P.S. I Love You. And Gerard Butler is so hot with his thick Irish brogue and roughish good looks. I can't tell anyone what its about you just have to see it for yourself.

Excellent performance by Hillary Swank and cast.I originally saw this movie in the theatre and loved it so much that I ordered on Amazon. There aren't too many movies that can bring a tear to your eye and make you fall in love with all of the character's. I also recommend the book I LOVE YOU.. I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't it is my favorite book about relationships and love.
 Nothing like book July 31, 2008

I held off on watching this movie until I had read the book. I wish I hadn't. It was very loosely based on the book. Had the movie been more like the book, it would have been fantastic.
Loved it! July 29, 2008

What a great movie! Just a fun, charming, chick-flick love story! I cried my way through most of it. I kept putting my husband in the place of Jerry, and my heart broke right along with Holly's! Just a very enjoyable movie to watch with the girls-if you aren't too embarrassed to cry in front of them! (because trust me...you will!). A great escape with great actors and some beautiful Irish scenery. P.S. I loved it!
