P.S. I Love You (2007)

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2011)

Annoying dialogue starts this movie off. It's the typical kind of dialogue written by somebody thinking they are clever, however the stale clichés they throw out just highlight their lack of imagination. So after Swank and Butler annoy me for 12 minutes, Butler dies and the film is a look at love, life and letting go. It's similar to other movies like this, there's a nice guy that is understanding of the widow's situation, but by the end he is an angry and unpleasant person. The biggest problem is that the message is obvious before viewing, and it doesn't unravel in an interesting nor original fashion. It certainly robs itself of any humanity by forgetting that life isn't this simple. There are some excellently hilarious lines, but this hits neither the tear jerking moments, nor the uplifting feel that it's aiming for.
