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 CriticLittle 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
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 CriticHilary Swank may have two Oscars, but P.S. I Love You proves she has plenty to learn about romantic comedies.
05/12/08
P.S. I Love You is as treacly as the title would suggest.
12/20/07
Some actors are better suited to straight-ahead dramas. Swank appears to be one of them.
12/21/07
Top CriticWho 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
For all his plain-speaking, down-homey affect, Harry Connick, Jr. remains something of a mystery.
01/17/08
Things soon degenerate into forced whimsy and uninspired romantic formula.
12/20/07
This is a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first.
12/21/07
If P.S. I Love You proves anything, it's that Hilary Swank may be a great actress, but she can't do cute.
12/20/07
Top CriticShifts between earnest melodrama and zany comedy without making much of an imprint as either...In all of her frequently breathtaking talent and depth, Hilary Swank deserves better than what P.S. I Love You has to offer.
12/20/07
Even fans of the romantic comedy genre might have trouble suspending disbelief for this ridiculous bit of fluff that rarely knows whether it wants to be a serious drama about grieving or a light comedy about finding love.
12/18/07
LaGravenese has sliced away the worst of Ahern’s excruciating prose, but that proves a negative virtue.
12/20/07
Presumably made for mature viewers, this fraudulent high-concept chick flick about loss and love is a stepdown for LaGravanese, driven by commercial considerations (which is fine), except that the film's major asset, Gerard Butler, plays a tiny part.
12/14/07
Hilary Swank doesn't usually play girlie roles, and this unabashed chick flick demonstrates why: She's not very girlie.
