Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her life--a passionate, funny, and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to get out and "celebrate herself." In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother and her best friends Sharon and Denise begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her farther into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting, and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship, and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.

Karen M gave it a10:
I thought this movie was amazing. The movie drew me in right from the beginning. I defiantly cried through most of it, but always made many laughs. It had a good balance between it being a romantic comedy with this tragic love story involved. The whole story was very clever and romantic. It’s true that the idea of being in love with this “self-sacrificing ghost” is not new; but this movie shows it in different way by putting a huge and unique twist on it. I also agree by saying that the movie very refreshing. I was very satisfied at the end of it; the whole story line went together well and the setting was perfect. This movie is mostly a chick flick, but I do not think a man would absolutely hate the movie. Hilary Swank did do a terrific job playing this character. She always plays a strong character and in this movie you see her break, and try to become the strong person she is again. The chemistry between her and Gerard Butler was great. It didn’t seem to me that she was trying too hard to get all the emotions out that she needed for this movie. It all seemed natural. In addition, I do agree that the supporting cast (Kathy Bates, Lisa Kudrow, and Harry Connick Jr.) were perfect for this movie.

Really good film, similar to The Notebook, quite sad though. Cried lots.
Alastair P. gave it a7:
I was surprised at the big laughs that I got. Sure, it was contrived, but it still provided a romantic good time. It's a movie that won't offend anyone .
Bryan C gave it an8:
The premise was cliche indeed, but the characters honesty about the situation was endearing to a fault. Every time I thought something was silly, so did the characters. I'm a hetero man, I watched it with my wife and we both loved it. Harry Connick junior was fantastic.
