How sweet!

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2016)

P.S. I love you really is a very sweet heart warming film. Hilary Swank is perfectly cast as holly, the young widow who is receiving letters from her dead husband Jerry while trying to get over him and find a new life. Gerard Butler is also perfectly cast here as Jerry. Kathy Bates is good in her motherly role, and Harry Connick Jr. is alright, kind of a strange role to be honest, but he did alright. Lisa Kudrow is very funny and gives a witty enjoyable performance as the best friend. The script is cute sometimes, dramatic when it wants to be, and then funny when it's appropriate. The beginning of the movie is well done, showing their raw marriage, both the good and the bad side of it. The little striptease by Gerard butler was funny and well placed. Then going from that to the funeral service at the bar was good, showing the grief and emotion. The movie isn't too slow or too fast in pace, I think it's just right. I really did like how the movie had a good range of emotions, rich in both humor and seriousness. The Ireland trip with the best friends was entertaining, and indecently where something good happens (I won't tell you what). I don't why the majority of critics panned the film, I really enjoyed it, and I came out of it feeling satisfied and that I made the right decision by seeing it.
