Two-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank tries her hand at romantic comedy in this touching film based on the bestselling Irish novel. Holly Kennedy (Swank) and her charming Irish husband Gerry (Gerard Butler) are a young couple struggling to get by in New York City. Their marriage is 10 years strong, and they are madly in love, but the fates soon step in, when Gerry develops cancer and dies. Holly is completely devastated, and her friends Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon) do their best to console her. Her mother (Kathy Bates) and sister, Rose (Nellie Mckay), also offer their support, but it seems nothing can pull Holly out of her grief. Then one day, she begins to receive love letters Gerry penned before his death. The letters are filled with various stories and instructions, and one of them even contains a plan that sends her and her friends on a trip to Ireland. As Gerry's posthumous letters buoy her up, Holly slowly begins to piece her life back together. His letters help her to celebrate their special love story, and remind her that she must continue to live her life, and seek out happiness.
The film's stellar cast delivers many tearjerker moments, and P.S. I LOVE YOU does a fine job of yanking on the heartstrings. However, the tone often shifts so abruptly, it at times feels as though they couldn't quite decide if Holly was a steel magnolia, a Bridget with a diary, or a devil in search of some Prada. But the strong performances manage to hold the tale together, and the story is ultimately moving, and yes, romantic.

I am not a big fan of going to the movies, so I never saw this on the big screen, but had several friends tell me "you gotta see it"! I searched all over town for a store that had it in stock and couldn't find it. Of course, I am never disappointed with availability on Overstock.com; and of course, it was available! I wasted no time ordering the movie. It took a little longer than normal to receive the movie, probably because of the holidays, but when I finally did, I watched it immediately. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a while....great for those who like to laugh, then smile, then cry, then laugh....If you want to see a great love story, you gotta see it!

You cry, you laugh, you cry, you laugh......... I loved this movie, but gave it 4 stars instead of 5, because, like any movie of this type...the "Macho man" probably will not like it.

The movie spoke to me especially since I also just lost a special lifelong friend. It is extremely hard to let go of a happy relationship but the movie helped prove that there is more that life can offer and that love can come again in the future. When one door closes abruptly, God opens another and through it you can find the person you were really meant to be. The pain is real but it also allows you to see with a broader scope, seek out your new place in this world and allows the creativity in your soul to emerge and as you grow through this experience , you find a new you and interests but at the same time never forgetting the past and your experiences in that time.

For once the movie is actually better than the book. Read the book first then saw the movie, then read the book again as I thought I missed something. Great story.
