PS I Love You (2007)
Director: Richard LaGravenese
Movie review
From Time Out New York
No cliché is overlooked in Richard LaGravenese’s adaptation of Cecelia Ahern’s chick-lit phenomenon. Uptight, anhedonic New Yorker Holly (Swank) falls apart after the premature death of her life-loving Irish husband (Butler). But the warm, wise letters whose posthumous delivery he slyly arranged help her move on, follow her dreams, find closure, smell the roses, live, laugh and love. Holly’s worried mom (Bates), offbeat sis and outspoken gal pals (Kudrow, Gershon) also assist her in the grief process. Sitcom characters and a tone pitched somewhere between self-help pep talk and beach novel undermine the unimpeachable carpe diem message.Author: Maitland McDonagh
