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 CriticThe question of love after death has been asked frequently enough in the movies, but seldom with the high ick factor found in P.S. I Love You.
12/13/07
Top CriticIn its way, it's almost daringly radical in its old-fashioned sentimentality.
12/21/07
It was Irish overkill. There didn't seem to be a chronological plan with the letters, so poor Holly is just forced to sit and wait to hear from her dead husband.
03/04/08
The end dedication (to the producer's late sister) reminds us that even a disposable commercial film can be extremely personal and meaningful for the people involved in its creation.
12/21/07
P.S. I Love You is the cinematic equivalent of a Celine Dion song.
12/19/07
It's tough to believe that any leading lady could've done much with writer-director Richard LaGravenese's lackluster material.
12/20/07
P.S. I Love You isn't as pathetically sappy as the title might sound. OK, maybe it is a little...
12/21/07
P.S. I Love You runs 126 minutes, and that extra half-hour bloats the material into an ugly mishmash in which the attempts at comedy are excruciating and the drama gets diluted by needless set-pieces.
12/29/07
Doesn't add anything fresh or special or memorable to our understanding of the grief process.
12/21/07
Butler, though puportedly attractive, gives a chipmunk-chipper performance that can only be described as supremely annoying.
12/21/07
An unapologetic tearjerker, the film lays on the sap at points, but is helped immeasurably by surprisingly clever dialogue and well-played, funny performances by the supporting cast.
12/17/07
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
You could go see P.S. I Love You, or you could hit yourself on the head with a meat mallet.
12/21/07
Top CriticTalk about uneven. 'P.S. I Love You' is more uneven than an emery board, and every bit as grating when it misses its mark, which is more often than not.
02/09/08
Who should be more insulted by P.S. I Love You: Women, who are portrayed as shrill, materialistic harpies who fall down regularly? Or men, who are shown to be at their most romantically attractive when they're dead?
12/21/07
Richard 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
P.S. I Love You looks squeaky clean and utterly straight. Yet as directed by Richard LaGravenese, it has a curious morbid quality.
12/21/07
Top CriticEven though Lisa Kudrow and Gina Gershon are both way too old to be 29-year-old Holly’s best friends, they still provide welcome support.
12/20/07
This is the kind of movie that was made for the female audience and we thank you. PS, take Kleenex.
