In its way, it's almost daringly radical in its old-fashioned sentimentality.

Reviews for P.S. I Love You
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
In the grief-drenched romantic comedy P.S. I Love You, things are excruciatingly amiss, start to finish.
12/21/07
Butler, though puportedly attractive, gives a chipmunk-chipper performance that can only be described as supremely annoying.
12/21/07
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 CriticA protracted piece of schmaltz.
12/21/07
P.S. Why should we care?
12/21/07
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
I found myself entertained, engaged and, occasionally, pleasantly surprised.
12/21/07
A low point in the tear-stained history of sappy, shallow chick drivel.
12/21/07
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
Pulling our strings is one thing; taking us for a fool is quite another.
12/21/07
Tone is everything in a movie like this, but writer-director Richard LaGravanese, working from a novel by Cecelia Ahern, can't decide between quirky indie dark comedy and laugh-a-minute TV sitcom.
12/21/07
P.S. I Love You is manipulative, too long and loaded with the bizarre stereotypes of so-called women's movies... Yet I can't deny that some tears were jerked.
12/21/07
Sappy, floundering, disappointing melodrama...drop it in the dead letter office.
12/21/07
P.S. I Love You is blithely inept.
12/21/07
LaGravenese is usually a terrific screenwriter, but this adaptation (with Steve Rogers) of Cecelia Ahern's novel is almost insufferably sufferable.
12/21/07
No one will confuse Hilary Swank with Lucille Ball, but she's entertaining enough to keep this one from becoming a gooey chick flick
12/21/07
It feels like the kind of project that Meg Ryan would have turned down back in the 90's for being just a little too hackneyed and cliched for its own good.
12/21/07
You could go see P.S. I Love You, or you could hit yourself on the head with a meat mallet.
