P.S. I LOVE YOU

P.S. I LOVE YOU... P.P.S. No I don't...

Holly Kennedy: What if this is it, Gerry? What if this is all there is to our life? You have to have a plan. Why do I have to be the responsible grown up who worries? Why can't I be the cute, carefree Irish guy who sings all the time?

Gerry Kennedy: Because you can't sing without making dogs bark?

Where did my Million Dollar Baby go?! First was The Reaping and now this? I guess 'girls do cry' because Hillary Swank spent most of the movie either crying or being ready to cry. Swank is a woman whose husband dies from cancer who needs to work through her grief. He, knowing his days were numbered, prepares all sorts of things to be delivered to her in hopes of helping her grieve. As noted in reference A. (as seen above) this script was forced and told the views what they needed to know in case they missed the over-acted scene before. This could have been a very good movie if there was a different lead actress. Swank has given too many Oscar worthy performances to drop down to this level. Additionally, she doesn't hold up as a comedic actress; AND she doesn't know how to fake-kiss correctly. There is the obligatory karaoke scene and then the "final goodbye" scene. This film had some 'star power': Harry Connick Jr, Geena Gershon, Lisa Kudrow, Kathy Bates, but they were so flat and two dimensional. They were totally lost in the background. The one thing I did like about this film is the actor who portrays the husband, Gerard Butler. Although I thought the script made him less appealing, and made him perform all the typical romance crap, he still was charming. He starred in one of my favorites, "Dear Frankie" which is far better than this movie could ever hope to being. He has six films in production as we speak (or as I write).

NOT a pick: Tired ideas, miscast actors, flat film. Save your tears and watch Million Dollar Baby again.
