Plot Summary:
|
Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is marvellous, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and offhand Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry's viability is taken at near an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the themselves who is no longer there. Nothing knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead!
Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that longing guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the f... orm of a encrust, and to her utter shock, a strap recording from Gerry, who proceeds to caste her to 'deplane forbidden and celebrate herself!'

P.S. I Love You
Claudia PuigWhat's a two-time Oscar winner to do? Get a new agent, perhaps. This has not been a good year for Hilary Swank. In the spring she starred in the silly horror movie The Reaping. Earlier this year she had the lead role in the forgettable Freedom Writers. Now she's made another blunder by taking the main part in the trite wannabe tearjerker P.S. I Love You. Perhaps she wanted to try out lighter fare than the films for which she received accolades (Million Dollar Baby, Boys Don't Cry). But some actors are better suited to straight-ahead dramas. Swank appears to be one of them. P.S. I Love You has occasional bursts of watered-down charm, mostly when Gerard Butler is on screen as Swank's Irish swain. But he's not around enough, because the forced concei...
P.S. I Love You
Carina ChocanoYou could go see P.S. I Love You, or you could hit yourself on the head with a meat mallet -- it depends on the amount of time and money you want to devote to what amounts to roughly the same experience. The movie, adapted by Richard LaGravenese (who also directs) and Steven Rogers from Irish writer Cecelia Ahern's bestselling novel, stars Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler (King Leonidas from 300) as a couple whose marriage appears to take a turn for the better after the husband dies suddenly of a brain tumor.
At least this is what I gathered from the first sequences of the film, which unlike the book opens not with the heroine grieving over her freshly dead husband but with a shallow, shrill and circuitous marital spat. When we meet Holly (Swank) a...
A fairytale rom com.Excellent!
I haven't read the book, and won't be reading the book: the movie will do for me. I doubt I would've watched the film if hunky Butler wasn't in it, seeing as I am not a Hilary Swank fan. I liked the film and I am glad that I haven't read the book because one will always compare. But as a stand alone the film was ace for me. Of course a tad 'too fairytale' for me. Wouldn't all woman kind want a man like Gerard Butler to come home to? And a man that thinks out 10 letters before he dies to ease his wife into starting a new life is just simply quite uncharacteristic of the male species, but nevertheless very touching, A good weepie, with some good humour.Highly recommended.
