only in Hollywood....

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 2008)

could something like this be possible. The whole story just didn't sound very plausible to me. It was too sappy, too dramatic. In the movie Holly's husband Gerry, dies from a brain tumor. They had been married ten years, and were still in love. She doesn't know how she will get through this. Then after several weeks, a birthday cake and letter arrive from her deceased husband. He said he planned all of this out and will send her letters throughout the months to help her get over his death. Such as want her to go sing karaoke, take a trip to Ireland and visits his parents, and fall in love again. Holly finds out in the end it was her mother whom was helping Gerry do all this.
One thing I didn't like is Gerry would just show up and it wasn't flashbacks. Also, that was just creepy having Holly sleep with Gerry's best bud in Ireland.
FINAL VERDICT: Those that love the date/romance movies will probably like this more. I thought it was decent, but not great and I just didn't buy this as something that could really happen.
