SYNOPSIS: Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her life--a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead.

Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to get out and "celebrate herself." In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S. I Love You.

With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.  © Warner Bros. All rights reserved

REVIEW: This movie is a definite tear jerker; it captures the audience and gives them a yoyo ride of emotions. Every time I thought something pleasant was about to happen to Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) I was stunned with something sad. On another note, when I felt something bad was going to happen I was comforted with a laugh. Holly and Gerry (Gerald Butler) did an amazing job at playing husband and wife. I could easily connect with the characters and put myself in their shoes. It’s amazing how when you truly love somebody you will do just about anything for the other person. Gerry shows us just that by sending Holly messages even after his death.

Hilary and Gerald did an outstanding job with their roles. Kathy Bates pretty much plays the butch mom and played it well. Denise (Lisa Kudrow) did a fine job however I feel this part should have been cast differently. I couldn’t get Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) from the sitcom Friends out of my mind during the entire movie. Likewise with Danniel (Harry Connick Jr.), although he did a decent job of acting I probably would have selected a different unknown actor.

The story was excellent and very well written. I did not lose interest in the movie for one second. "P.S. I Love You" is a must see for the romantic. However, don’t forget to take your Kleenex with you because you will need them.
