Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody 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 will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake, and to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to 'get out and celebrate herself!' In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S. I Love You!

This is a good chick flick, if you will pardon the possibly derogatory term. What I mean by that: if you were looking for a girls' night out at the pictures, just you and your mates, maybe... read more »
If you've read the book and loved it, like i did, you'll be very disappointed with this film. Although i'm sure it happens all the time with Hollywood films, its only very loosely based on the book. Everything has been 'americanised'. In the book everything is set in Dublin with a lot of lovable and humourous characters which obviously the americans couldn't relate to so instead they've taken out a lot of characters which keep the book alive, added new ones which dont really fit into the story and completely changed the personalities of anyone else left in the film. There are some amusing parts of the film which keeps it moving at a steady pace, its not all bad. My friends recommended i read the book before seeing the film as they loved the book so much, but i strongly advise not to read it first if you're planning on watching the film because you'll be as annoyed as I am.
If you've never heard of the book but just want to watch because you like chick flicks then you will probably enjoy it, i probably would have.
A lighthearted chick flick to watch that you won't have to concentrate too much on.
p.s dont bother is what it should be called .
I was having a good day before i watched this two words GUT DEPRESSING !
This is a good chick flick, if you will pardon the possibly derogatory term. What I mean by that: if you were looking for a girls' night out at the pictures, just you and your mates, maybe your mum or your sisters, P.S I Love You has all the requisite ingredients. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll bond. You'll cry some more. All this, and Gerard Butler too! If that is what you're after, by all means rate the movie a ten and add it to your rental queue. Speaking for myself, I'm immune to Mr... Read more
