P.S. I Love You

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2007)

I only give a 9 because I would have loved to be in the scenes with Gerard instead of Hilary!! This movie is getting mixed reviews, but I thought the truthfulness and honesty of it was totally on. When my dad died, I remember searching for any piece of him to hold on to. You definitely go through flashbacks in your head, so those were correct. All the men were amazing, but especially Gerard Butler. I have seen real bad movies with him in them, but he always shines. He seems to throw himself fully into every role he does, and his acting is superb. I'm a new fan - having finally, reluctantly watched Phantom of the Opera, but I was hooked by his performance in that, and can never believe how far he can stretch himself; whether it's the Phantom, a Spartan, a time traveler, a criminal, Dracula, whatever, the movie may get horrid ratings, but he's the gemstone in the dirt, no matter what. But other than that, go see this movie because it's a true analogy of life. You will be surprised when you don't cry and surprised when you do.
This is signed Christopher, but it's from me,his wife, Laura. I realized after reading this, that you might have thought this was from a man, but it's from a hot-blooded female who was not struck blind at marriage!!
P.S. My husband went to the movies to see "I Am Legend," but came home and admitted that he went to see this movie. He really liked it quite a bit. I don't know if he cried, but he actually loves movies that are "chick flicks." What a mush! What a great guy!
12/31/07 - I wanted to add a comment. "Sweeney Todd" got lots of nominations for awards. I couldn't stomach this movie - I almost got sick to my stomach watching it. I get upset that such a violent movie gets awards, yet a sweet movie like this does not. However, I did note that other people must feel the same way cause this past weekend "P.S." was #8 and Sweeney" was #9, so maybe there is hope for the human race.
5/17/08 - I know this movie is long past, and is out on DVD. The scene in the travel agency with Gerard Butler should not have been cut. That scene was beautiful, tender and funny all at once. My dad died of cancer, and that's exactly how he looked near the end - Gerard, my hat's off to you. Too bad the morons in Hollywood don't know that we've all dealt with death by cancer. In fact, in "Philadelphia" they dealt with dying - why couldn't this film maker realize that?
