Brief synopsis of P.S., I Love You

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 »

Rated - 2 starsWhy fix what's not broken?!?

kezzabezza from Lowestoft [Highly rated reviewer] , 05/01/2008

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.

Rated - 5 starsAwwwwww.!...esome

PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 07/01/2008

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.

Rated - 4 starsA fairytale rom com.Excellent!

A customer from SW London , 05/01/2008

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.

Rated - 5 starsLaughed, cried, loved it....

Sam Hall from South Wales , 15/07/2008

What a proper girlie film for a change. Thought it was funny and touching all the way through. Obviously not trying to be some great art-house movie, but for the tragic rom-com genre it was fantastic.

Hilary Swank won't be getting her Oscar hat-trick with this, but I'm glad she did it. And Kathy Bates, genius as ever.

Well worth settling down with a box of tissues and a box of Maltesers.
