Summary: A grieving widow finds her husband's warmth radiating from the afterlife when she discovers that he left her a series of tasks to be revealed in ten monthly messages and designed to help her overcome her sorrow while gradually making the transition into a new life. Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is a New York real estate broker whose good-humored husband, Irishman Gerry (Gerard Butler), always stood by her side. Suddenly, and seemingly out of nowhere, Gerry succumbs to a brain tumor and Holly is left to face an uncertain future. No one in the world knows Holly better than Gerry, not even her mother (Kathy Bates) or her best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow). But while Holly remains unsure if she can go on without the love of her life to help guide her, Gerry has planned ahead. On Holly's 30th birthday, she receives a cake and a special tape recording from Gerry that implores her to get out and celebrate instead of staying in and mourning. Later, as the months wear on, a series of additional messages arrive from Gerry -- always delivered in the most remarkable and surprising of ways. With each new message comes a new adventure, and each letter signs off in the same familiar way: "P.S. I love you." Despite the fact that Holly's mother and friends think these humorous, posthumous messages are keeping Holly bound to the past, the truth is that they are lovingly guiding her into the future while proving that sometimes death isn't just the end, but a new beginning as well. Director Richard LaGravenese teams with screenwriter Steve Rogers to adapt author Cecelia Ahern's best-selling novel. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Derek Armstrong

For decorated actresses, sometimes it's not enough just to do award-worthy films. Hilary Swank apparently wanted to prove she has a lighter side, hence her involvement in the weepy romantic sort-of-comedy P.S. I Love You. Unfortunately, Swank's knack for the dramatic follows her wherever she goes. Richard LaGravenese's film makes the strange decision to open with her Holly Kennedy entrenched in a knock-down, drag-out argument with her soon-to-be-dead husband (Gerard Butler), which eats up the entire first ten minutes. It's problematic, then, that the next scene is an abrupt shift to his funeral, even though he had no terminal disease whatsoever in the previous one. Films like these rely on the audience romanticizing the central relationship, but whatever was supposedly good about it comes out only in dribs and drabs. Instead, the labored central gimmick takes a stranglehold, as Butler's Gerry posthumously unleashes an unlikely cavalcade of tasks and projects for his widow to complete, all narrated by him on tape, in a precious Irish brogue that's layered on sickeningly thick. It would take a logistical mastermind on par with Jigsaw from the Saw movies to plan such a thing, especially in his disease-weakened state. But even if a viewer chooses to suspend disbelief, P.S. I Love You is still a turnoff, as Swank rarely finds the right tone, and the movie itself can never figure out whether it wants to be heavy or light. Especially disappointing is Lisa Kudrow's best friend character, whose primary trait is that she asks every guy she meets if he's a) single, b) working and c) heterosexual. LaGravenese's writing is an equal culprit here. The film's one good performance belongs to Kathy Bates as Holly's mother, but her superlative scene comes far past the point when most viewers will have given up. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide
