PS: i don't like you very much (dvd)

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2011)

Well, the movie begins well with an incredible scene of domestic quarrel between Hilary and her husband. Then, come the credits, next the grieving. That was tastefully done because we know that they are deeply in love and we don't have to live the dreadful period of his illness and death. Then, the letters arrive and i found that it was a very original idea that a terminally ill could plan his support. To my knowledge, it was the first story of this kind. The moments Hilary shares with his "ghost" are moving and i thought it would be a great movie.
Unfortunately, the cast is not great: Bates is a dull mother, Kudrow is a pathetic man-eater, Hilary's future landlord plays too much the playboy. Only Connick is funny but their relationship is a bit absurd. Furthermore, the story drags a lot and the letters lead to nothing fundamental. The Ireland journey is exotic for the colors (i understand why it's called the Emerald Island) but nothing really happens!
And the "coup de grace" for such an Irish movie is the absence of a U2 song, especially when the title song of Blunt copies their chorus of "in a little while". Aoo, Aoo, Aoooooooooo....
