Not worth your time or money
Added 11/6/2009
I loved the book, I laughed with Holly, I cried with her, it was just so moving. Being a young newlywed myself I could not imagine losing my husband so soon as she did; and having the strength to move on with life.. I could not stop talking about this book to my husband, as I finished reading for a day I would tell him what was happening. He will not read a book, so I thought we could watch the movie together (he is good that way, he will watch chick flicks with me). Boy was that the biggest mistake ever!! I hated the movie, it was nothing like the book at all!! I was embarrased to have asked my husband sit through those 2 wasted hours that we will never get back. I can't imagine liking this movie even if I hadn't read the book. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time on this movie

28yr old guy cried like a baby
Added 11/2/2009
Yes, you read it right in the subject line...I am a regular 28 year old guy who lifts weights, plays video games from time to time, etc. That being said I could not stop crying through this movie. My girlfriend and I watched it together and it just makes you well up with emotion over and over again. It brings to light some poignant truths: that life is short, not to be pedantic (don't let the little things get to you), Love and cherish the people who are special to you. I never particularly cared for Hillary Swank before this (I think it all started when she played "the next karate kid" lol) but now I really like her as an actress. It's such a beautiful movie with a beautiful love story that ended too soon, but such is life...rarely ever fair. "Carpe Diem and remember the important things because they may be gone before you know it" once again are the messages this movie sends. I highly recommend it to anyone.

PS I Love You

This was an excellent movie. My new favorite romantic comedy. Hilary Swank is a two-time Oscar winner who proves that she can do romantic fluff as well as the next leading lady. She has incredible chemistry with Gerard Butler, who has not been getting the best roles of his career. He is far underestimated, in my view, and I hope to see him in more romantic comedies.

Not As Emotional As I Expected
Added 10/24/2009
I liked P.S. I Love You more than I thought I would but didn't love it. I absolutely hate being manipulated emotionally and that is what I expected but most of the relationship between Holly (Swank) and Gerry (Butler) is revealed through flashbacks. The movie starts with an annoying and somewhat amusing overtly long fight between the couple. The next scene shows his funeral so the viewer doesn't get too caught up in the story of them, ending up chewing fingernails in dread waiting for the moment the story changes in a bad way.
A feel good chick-flick where the heroine moves out of a rut, wins self-respect and becomes a better person for surviving pain.
A naked man backside parades across the screen and Lisa Kudrow's character plays the field like a talented trout fisherwoman...(is that PC?) tossing bait out and whipping it back, moving with the current til the prize fish bites. I wouldn't recommend it for family viewing or if you are annoyed by the genre.
