P.S. I Love You-Crying Tomorrow is Not A Romantic Comedy **1/2

Rating: 5/10 (15 May 2008)

Somewhat interesting film which was falsely labeled as a romantic comedy.
When her seemingly happy marriage ends with the death of her husband, a woman begins receiving letters from him. Of course, you wonder where the letters are being sent from. This is not one of those eerie beyond the graves film.
We've come along way from movies since Susan Hayward, as Lillian Roth, reacted to the death of her fiancée by indulging in alcohol. Hilary Swank does a fine impression of Judy Garland's rendition of The Man that Got Away. The part with the fancy shoes from the famous Bette Davis scene of "Now, Voyager" remains a mystery to me.
Fine support by Kathy Bates, as her unhappy abandoned mother is given.
Sending these letters is the ultimate sacrifice made by a dying beloved husband to get his wife used to her new fate and preparation for a life without him. It's the old adage that life goes on.
The film has an interesting concept but is quite depressing. The memorial scene was supposed to be an uplifting scene, but how could it be?
