P.S. I Love You (2007)

Holly loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumor and she is devastated as expected. She is generally a very grumpy woman who is very immature, always keeps complaining and her husband was her only solace. She doesn't gel with her mother or her buddies. She expects to be the center of attraction always and is even selfish to a fault.

Following his death, Holly keeps getting some letters that Gerry had written for her before his death. These letters revive her spirit and bring her back to normal at a painfully slow pace. Finally, she decides after 2 hrs of the movie's running time that Gerry is indeed no more and that she needs to move on. She decides to make people close to her happy and moves on in life, thankfully for the audience.

Hits

• The chemistry between Gerald Butler and Hilary Swank is cracking and very energetic. Their scenes together are the major solace. 
• The other male characters in the movie like Daniel and William also help in keeping the movie light and enjoyable amid the total drag and bore. The female buddies Ciara, Denise and Sharon also keep the mood light with their antics, childish behavior and different attitude. 
• Hillary Swank pulls off a really irritating character with tremendous realism. Terrific portrayal. 
• The Irish locations are a treat. Dream like locales. 

Misses

• The movie drags. We wait for the finale.
• How long will the wife keep mourning and keep missing the husband. Repetitive scenes. 
• The characterization of the females in this movie is quite disturbing and immature. Hope to not get such females as life partners. 

VERDICT

Good theme drearily executed. Drags, huffs and puffs to the finish line. Great acting by Hilary Swank though.
