touching

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2008)

i found this romantic drama to be a pleasant surprise.it's well written,with good dialogue.the acting,especially from the principles,Hilary Swank,and Gerard Butler is terrific.the movie is very touching and tender,without being depressing,and there are even some humorous moments.i also found it authentic for the most part.there are a few things i didn't like.one of them was Lisa Kudro's character.i found her vulgar and crude,and whenever she was on screen,she changed the tenor of the movie,not in a good way.there were also a few scenes which i thought cheapened thew movie a bit.you'll know what i mean if you watch the movie.i also didn't buy the friendship between Holly(Swank) and that of Kudro's and Gina Gershon's characters.they just seemed out of place to me.i think it is a case of miscasting.despite the problems with the the movie,i still found it worth watching.i give P.S. I Love You an 8/10
