Reviews for P.S. I Love You
Lisa Kudrow, the designated comic relief, has never been so consistently unfunny, and Gina Gershon looks uncomfortable in every (pseudo-)inspirational moment.

Hilary Swank may have two Oscars, but P.S. I Love You proves she has plenty to learn about romantic comedies.
05/12/08
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
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
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
Swank gets it just right with a fine-tuned subtle expression of confusion, despondency and rage.
05/04/08
...the filmmakers mean well, but instead of a celebration of life, the whole thing seems like an extended wake.
04/28/08
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
Talk 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
Better than the best kiss you’ve ever had.
01/22/08
For all his plain-speaking, down-homey affect, Harry Connick, Jr. remains something of a mystery.
01/17/08
Romantic comedy is too tragic for all-out laughs.
01/02/08
It could have been better, but it’s good enough to be a solid girls’ night out flick.
01/02/08
Lame.

Punch line should read P.S. I Love You %u2013 If you can sit through this 2 hour film and not become nauseated.
01/01/08
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
There’s just enough here to recommend.

Top CriticLittle more than a cryfest for those looking to release their own emotions, rather than experience anything new.
12/26/07
By mid-film I was praying for Clint Eastwood to show up and take Swank off life support. No such luck.
