P.S., I Love You Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

Why fix what's not broken?!?

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.

Awwwwww.!...esome

This is one of those truly sadly, happy, feely good films that just make you glad to be alive, both myself and my partner absolutely loved every single minute of this. If you get chance to rent this and cuddle up with a nice bottle of whatever, just do it, not a typical Hilary Swank outing, and lets hope this propels Gerard Butler onto our screens even more he is a new George Clooney. It is a definately highly recommended rom-com par excellance. 10/10.

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.

read the book!

as this film isnt being released until january i just thought i would let you all know there is still time to read the book by celia ahern...its well worth reading, i started the book quite aprehensive about what i was about to read but it is an amazing discovery on how men can think ahead and help a woman rebuild her life without them. its fantastic, i couldnt put it down!!

P.S. I love you - SLOW - too long (to be entertaining) and too many flashbacks.

What a shame, they could have made so much of this story. Opening, before the credits, is present time, after the credits - Husband has died, without any reason or build up, and we have the ‘wake’ - therefore lacked immediate cohesion and essential link to the whole story. The true nature of the couple’s love is missing, as there was nothing to show the depth of that (save for a 5 minute ‘fight’ and a 5 second making -up sequence), or the heart rendering time of the Husband’s death - both essential, but missing - you have to assume all that the Producer/Director was too lazy to shoot/include. The remained of the film is too long, meandering, and the use of constant flashbacks rather defeats the otherwise sentimental nature of the film. Improbable, and without a definite beginning, middle and end. To watch this you need endurance and plenty of time!! Not one for the boys, and from the girls that watched, not for most of them either - the dog may enjoy it, as there is nothing to tax the mind - and he can go out for a walk, lie down, then come back without missing anything at all.

p.s i love you

to anyone out there bad mouthing this movie,i have and read the book four times, the book is one of my favourate books,it is a beautiful story that makes you laugh and cry and wish you had someone that loves you that much and it gives you a glimmer of hope that maybe just maybe there is true love out there and lets face it us ladies need something to give us hope because nearly all the men out there are lazy, selfish and wouldnt know romance if it hit them in the face and the closest we get is the books and movies.i love the book and i look forwards to the dvd because i need some thing i have lost all faith in men,romance and true love because so far the books and dvds are the closest ive got to a good romantic man and true love,it does'nt exist .

What a load of rubbish!

The two stars are for Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler both of whom coped adequately with a lack lustre script with way too much exposition at the beginning. It's like romantic comedy for the bored. It's got all the right ingrediants: a beautiful female lead, a funny husband [with a dodgy accent], Phoebe from Friends, a tragic death which in any other film would have been perfection but there's something missing and that's heart. The script is awful. The characters wooden. The dialogue unreal.

It's okay for an afternoon when you've got nothing on but if you're expecting anything more you will be disappointed.

P S I Love You

Read the book and couldn't wait to see the film.Was not disappointed, loved every minute of it.Would happily watch this over and over again.Be warned though you will need the tissues, excellent girlie film!

Meee luckeee charms

What could have been a bittersweet take on the modern love story, instead tasted like a bad Guiness, with the runs to boot. Swank, not learning anything from Freedom Writers, moves from Hollywood heavy weight to Paddywood anorexic. Butler, trying his best to briefly milk those post 300 abs, roles out the worst accent since Arthur Anderson lost his wheat based cereals. All in, disappointing, unadventurous and unengaging. Try to get to your grave before you see this.

P.S. I still love you, despite sending me this DVD.

Absolute guff!!

My girlfriend loved the book, but couldn't believe how bad the film was! Important scenes were changed and the style and tone of the film were changed from the book too. She had been looking forward to it. What a let down it was for her.

Most of the characters were annoying. Harry Connick Jr looked as if he was doing a poor impression of Mike Myers in So I Married An Axe Murderer.

Phoebe from Friends was basically annoying slapper Phoebe.

Kathy Bates was a horrible, annoying pain. At least her hangdog expression was perfectly suited to this miserable excuse of a film.

Under no circumstances should you rent/buy this garbage.

One of the films i have ever had to endure!
