Disappointing AFFAIR...

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2009)

well honestly i am not a big fan of the book PS i love you...i didn't quite like it and rather found it pretty much average and even annoying at times...all this grieving lady used to do was going to the pubs or parties and cry at the end of the day...
BUT when i saw the movie i felt the book was 100 times better...i had new found love for this book...i missed the lovable characters of the book like Declan,Richard and jack...well didn't miss jack that much...i don't understand why would the director drift away so much from the book...i mean the movie didn't work for me at all..it seemed so plastic and uneven...the characters like Sharon and Denise failed to establish the closeness and chemistry they shared with holly as in the book...the character of Daniel though totally changed seemed interesting but not well defined...and insertion of a character like William made the movie plot more crappy...
NOW something about the actors...i didn't really quite imagine Hilary swank to be perfect for the role of holly but when i saw her in the movie she was quite OK but not perfect..Gerrard Butler as Gerry was charming..Harry Connick Jr. as Daniel was gud but with very less screen time..someone like Lisa Kudrow with such gr8 comic histrionics was totally wasted...totally disappointed...Gina Gershon as Sharon didn't impress,seemed more like a bitch...didn't imagine the character of Sharon like this at all...Nellie McKay as ciara was totally lovely..she fitted the character to the T...
all in all the movie was total crap and a waste...the director was clueless and confused and had gone out of way to make a typical Hollywood romcom movie...
