P.S. I Love You — 

I had heard great reviews about the movies, P.S. I Love You. I have had it up to my ears with actions flicks and chidlren's movies since I am always watching them with my boys. The time had come to rent a movie for myself to enjoy. What better way to spend a mom's night in than watching a great romantic movie, right?

I thought that P.S. I Love You fit the bill. I coudlbn't wait to put the kids to bed and get lost in my movie for a couple of hours. I had been fighting a cold and runny nose and just felt like relaxing. P.S. I Love You only made things worse. I cried through pretty much the entire movie.

The movie is about a young couple with everyday issues. He died before she even reaches her 30th birthday, but he arranges an elaborate plan to woo her long after he is gone. Not too long after his untimely death, the letters start coming. Some are delivered by mail, others by relatives. He is always reaching out to her though and reminding her that he will love her for eternity.

Sure, the story is sweet and we all wish for that kind of undying love, but watching Hillary Swank portray the main character as she went through the emotions of this was exhausting. I though she did a phenomenal job though.

I was also disappointed in her love interests through the movie. i thought Daniel (played by Harry Connic Jr., was a unique character and I was really growing to like him. I really wanted to see them together. Instead, she used him as her shoulder to cry on. By the time she came around to the idea of liking him that way, they found they had no chemistry. I felt bad for Daniel.

Despite the heavy story line and havign to use up a whole box of tissues, there were some funny moments and I did like the characters.

I loved, loved, loved this movie. I was in one of "those" moods and just sat and cried and laughed and cried and laughed. I was uber excited to see Denny from Grey's Anatomy.
Of course I watched this on Mother's Day and Tommy and Chris about fell over from boredom and found every excuse in the world to leave the room!!!
