PPS, please find some better way of spending your money

Rating: 3/10 (6 February 2008)

A drunken, bullying Oirishman (Butler's accent is awful) orders his hopelessly dependent ex around from beyond the grave. What wonderful chemistry for a light comic drama, except it's not.
Butler is astoundingly bad as the swaggering male lead on his way out and Swank has to revert to her full teeth and tears routine to save some credibility.
The supporting cast is fairly forgettable, although Kudrow has a moment or two, and you might have some diversionary fun trying to work out what condition Connick jnr's character has (either mild Tourettes or autism (!)(?))
Starts with some cute lines but stumbles, collapses and expires quicker than Butler's character.
