Critics Consensus: Hilary Swank is miscast as the romantic lead in this clichéd film about loss and love.

There's just enough here to recommend.
Snippets of sharp, witty dialogue are lost in a sea of sappy clichés and too-cute-for-words plot twists.
Some actors are better suited to straight-ahead dramas. Swank appears to be one of them.
It's the sort of movie that no man will ever go to unless dragged by a woman. His sole reward will be the sight of Swank in sexy underwear.
The talented Swank is slumming a bit here, but she could -- and has -- done worse.
This is a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first.
I hated every calculated second of it with a passion.
...a consistently watchable romantic comedy that's certainly a far cry from its underwhelming brethren...
Shmoopy or not, the movie worked for me.
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.
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.
Interesting movie. I can't imagine what it would be like to have a spouse die on you, but what Gerry does for Holly is pretty special.
Super Reviewer
The premise is so unbelievable I can't believe no one questions it: dying husband plans grieving wife's moves months in advance. How does he know??? "No one cares, its just a plot device, and the story's sooo sad..." I kept waiting for a letter to arrive out of the planned order. Anyway, a chick flick about love that reaches from beyond the grave ... and about getting on with living. The actors are good.
There is not much too this film, and it is very cliched, but the final product, for what it is, is very well done. Hilary Swank leads this film, and although the film begins with her husband passing away, he is able to hold the film together well enough for it to be a satisfying watch. It is definitely not the most original idea, and the dialogue is plain and sappy, but what would a romance be without a little of that? I found myself falling into every scene, no matter if it was dumb or beautiful, I felt the impact that I think the filmmakers intended. It is definitely a great date film that is not hard to watch, albeit a bit depressing at times. I felt myself to be upset for most of the film, but for all the right reasons. It's certainly not a hall of fame entry, but "P.S. I Love You" is tender enough to enjoy.
A very cute movie that made me laugh and cry. A top notch cast that kept me waiting. While I didnt cry at every letter like a certain someone in my life. The story and acting were excellent.
