Surprisingly uplifting for a film that prompts as many tears as those that ran down my cheeks this honest and moving film delivers one of the year's best love stories.

Reviews for P.S. I Love You
Top CriticIt's the sort of movie that no man will ever go to unless dragged by a woman. His sole reward will be the sight of Swank in sexy underwear.

You could go see P.S. I Love You, or you could hit yourself on the head with a meat mallet.

Top CriticIt's Million Dollar Cry Baby. P.S. I Love You is the most potent tear jerker since The Notebook. It's not as profound or skillful, but there certainly hasn't been anything that makes you so happy to cry since then.
12/21/07
Shmoopy or not, the movie worked for me.

P.S. I Love You is the cinematic equivalent of a Celine Dion song.
12/19/07
A low point in the tear-stained history of sappy, shallow chick drivel.
12/21/07
FYI, there's zero chemistry between P.S. I Love You's two commodified headliners.
12/12/07
A protracted piece of schmaltz.
12/21/07
There’s just enough here to recommend.

Top CriticRichard LaGravense's P.S. I Love You has plenty of sappy love-letter moments, but it's also a very touching and real-feeling look at the grieving process.
05/10/08
Alas, we never buy the depth of Holly and Gerry's love because the chemistry between Swank and Butler is nonexistent.
12/24/07
A chick flick in the worst sense of that phrase, as all of the actors run around frantically, emoting like crazy while having zero chemistry with each other.
12/19/07
Little more than a cryfest for those looking to release their own emotions, rather than experience anything new.
12/26/07
The emotional tug is lost in uninspired dialogue, trite situations, and some plot twists that defy credulity while exploring the limits of tedious convention
12/18/07
What do you get when you stick a talented, interesting cast in an uninspiring chick flick? Short answer: P.S. I Love You.
12/20/07
What's on your holiday wishlist? Is there room for a maudlin romantic comedy that brandishes its earnestness like tacky light displays synchronized to Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
12/21/07
Swank does her best, but she seems lost in the movie's identity crisis, taking the project seriously one moment and doing a pratfall off a karaoke stage the next.
12/21/07
I found myself entertained, engaged and, occasionally, pleasantly surprised.
12/21/07
This is the kind of movie that was made for the female audience and we thank you. PS, take Kleenex.
