REVIEWS FOR P.S. I LOVE YOU
Shmoopy or not, the movie worked for me.
Sep 8, 2008
Lisa Kudrow, the designated comic relief, has never been so consistently unfunny, and Gina Gershon looks uncomfortable in every (pseudo-)inspirational moment.
Jun 21, 2008
Hilary Swank may have two Oscars, but P.S. I Love You proves she has plenty to learn about romantic comedies.
May 12, 2008
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.
May 10, 2008
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.
May 6, 2008
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...
May 6, 2008
Swank gets it just right with a fine-tuned subtle expression of confusion, despondency and rage.
May 4, 2008
...the filmmakers mean well, but instead of a celebration of life, the whole thing seems like an extended wake.
Apr 28, 2008
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.
Mar 4, 2008
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.
Feb 9, 2008
Better than the best kiss you’ve ever had.
Jan 22, 2008
For all his plain-speaking, down-homey affect, Harry Connick, Jr. remains something of a mystery.
Jan 17, 2008
Romantic comedy is too tragic for all-out laughs.
Jan 2, 2008
It could have been better, but it’s good enough to be a solid girls’ night out flick.
Jan 2, 2008
Lame.
Jan 2, 2008
Punch line should read P.S. I Love You %u2013 If you can sit through this 2 hour film and not become nauseated.
Jan 1, 2008
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.
Dec 29, 2007
There’s just enough here to recommend.
Dec 26, 2007
Top CriticLittle more than a cryfest for those looking to release their own emotions, rather than experience anything new.
