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 CriticAn appealing alternative to the dramatic 'for your consideration' awards bait that populates theaters in December.

You get the strong impression that no one involved wanted to risk being labeled "depressing," so they inserted a lot of lame comic moments into a film that doesn't need them.
05/06/08
P.S. I don't like you at all.

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
P.S. I Love You is as treacly as the title would suggest.
12/20/07
It could have been better, but it’s good enough to be a solid girls’ night out flick.

LaGravenese is usually a terrific screenwriter, but this adaptation (with Steve Rogers) of Cecelia Ahern's novel is almost insufferably sufferable.
12/21/07
LaGravenese is known as one of Hollywood's go-to screenwriters, credited or uncredited, but the films he's directed, such as Living Out Loud and Freedom Writers, are memorable more for their terrible titles than any lasting distinction.

P.S. I Love You is blithely inept.
12/21/07
It'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.

Lame.
01/02/08
B.S. I Love You would be a more accurate title.

Romantic comedies...need twinkle. Her character wears twinkly dresses and does twinkly things, but Swank delivers her lines as though she is still slamming into that heavy bag.
12/20/07
Top CriticSnippets of sharp, witty dialogue are lost in a sea of sappy clichés and too-cute-for-words plot twists.
12/21/07
The movie is so bent on conjuring big, sweeping emotions that it becomes a bit scattershot, starting down way too many tear-jerking roads but never going down any of them far enough to discover any real substance.
12/21/07
May be too womanly for a guy like me, but you don't have to be either sex to know all potential is dashed in a hail of clichés...
05/06/08
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
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
Romantic comedy is too tragic for all-out laughs.
