Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on the best-selling novel from Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I Love You is far more than the standard chick flick that it may first appear to be. Relocating the novel from Ireland to America, multiple Oscar-winner Hilary Swank stars as the young woman who has recently lost her husband. And yet amidst her grief, she discovers a series of letters that he's written to help. These letters give her certain things she has to do, to help her move on with her life. It's not a completely clean adaptation of the book, and yet P.S. I Love You has more than enough in its tank to qualify as a good, quality bona fide weepy. Swank in particular is a terrific actress, and delivers another worthy performance here. Credit too to Gerard Butler (Phantom Of The Opera, 300) for his work as her late husband. The film does have a few problems. It meanders a little, and its running time could use a little pruning. Yet nonetheless P.S. I Love You is a well made, engaging drama, and likely to be responsible for a fair bit of blubbing among its target audience by the time the credits roll. Worth a look. --Jon Foster

I loved the book and was really looking forward to seeing the film, but was slightly put off to hear that it was set in the USA instead of Ireland. But, in spite of this I decided to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it is very different from the book but if you can put that aside and see it as a film in it's own right you'll really enjoy it.
Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler are delightful as a couple and their acting is amazing. Swank's acting during the funeral scene is superb. Laughing and crying at the same time through the playing of Fairytale of New York, she just tugs at the heartstrings.
Some reviewers have criticised it saying that it slagged off the Irish and called us leprechauns. But the only references to that were when Gerry made a silly, jokey remark and Holly said something about being in love with a leprechaun; and also when the sing-a-gram comes to the door, which was just Gerry's silly way of reminding Holly about him and also about St.Patrick's day. A couple of references to something that we ourselves promote as part of the tourist trade can hardly be classed as racism! In fact, the Irish are portrayed as attractive, intelligent, warm, friendly, hard-working, fun-loving, creative people, who are fortunate enough to live in a beautiful land, so I don't think there's anything for us to take offence at.
This film is full of romance, comedy, pathos, top-class performances, and stunning scenery. Don't be put off by the negative revues of people who might prefer more sex and violence. Sometimes it's nice to see people overcoming challenges and, with the help of family and friends, coming out the other side with humour and optimism.

I have recently gone through a loss and trauma myself. My friends didn't think that watching this film at this stage of my life is wise. But.. OK, probably cried more then anyone else watching it, but the film left me with the feeling that this also will pass, that I'm not alone with my pain and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Very calming and oh, those Irish guys :D Recommend from the bottom of my shattered heart

I can't say a bad word against this film...it's funny, romantic and dramatic. What more could you ask for?
Butler and Swank work so well together and your heart goes out to her when she loses him and then you leap for joy when there is potential for her to be happy.
A truly beautiful film, one of the best chick flicks I have ever seen.
This film is the Perfect 10 romance February 4, 2008

This film works on every single possible leverl, the cast is amazing. The dialogue brilliant and the original scenario about a guy who has died and arranges love notes to be sent to his wife is brilliant. This tugs on the heart strings all the way through and is pure gold. Hilary Swank is really beautiful and Connick Junior is the fun side of the film. The film does'nt even get too slushy or cheesy which is a great change.
Please watch this film.
Not your typical rom-com, that's for sure June 6, 2008

I'll be the first to admit to a crush on Gerard Butler and he was my primary reason for buying this movie. I figured it would be your typical romantic comedy but it's a lot more than that. Instead of "girl meets boy, girl likes boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy back through a series of shenanigans" it was a story of loss and how to deal with it. Even though he's only in the movie for at most fifteen minutes, Gerard Butler does his best acting as Hilary Swank's (also a star in this movie) recently deceased husband who tries to help his wife deal with her pain from beyond the grave through a series of letters. Everything you expect from a rom-com isn't here. Even the obligatory potential new soulmate (played fairly well by Harry Connick Jr, aka Leo from Will & Grace) story arc gets turned on its head.
Woah, TL'DR.
In summary: buy it. And if you can, check out the book. You won't regret it. Even if you just want to see Mr Butler do a funny little strip tease. Which was NOT my primary reason for buying it, of course....
