At Last real entertainment.

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

After reading so many good reviews, I was still apprehensive about taking my husband to see the movie P.S. I Love You. I knew the basic story line and the excellent actors to star in it so that was a plus but to my surprise my husband enjoyed it equally as much as I did. We both came out from the experience satisfied that for once it was money well spent and that the days of good movie had not yet ended. What a great movie! We talked about it almost all the way home. It was very hard to hold back from uncontrollable laughter and tears in this movie it was both very funny and very sad at times. Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler are excellent in portraying their roles as Holly and Gerry as are the rest of the characters especially Lisa Kudrow with her added touch of Michele reminiscent of Romy in" Romy and Micheles Highschool Reunion." This movie drew people from all age groups young and old and appreciated by most, confirmed by the applauding at the end. There was some human aspect of the movie that all could relate to whether it be a tragic loss, being alone or just striving for a happy existence in everyday life but all lifted with a touch of Irish humour and their way of seeing things. What could have been just another tragic love story was given depth by those who portrayed their roles so well. Colourful characters fitting their equally visually colourful environments.
After seeing previous movies of Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler, they are both wonderful actors true chameleons of their art, throwing their selves into any role they take on and this one no exception. If you a looking for a good laugh or a good cry then this will do it for you. I can't remember anywhere in the movie where I lost interest and dozed off. It will keep you amused, pure entertainment!
