Two-time
Oscar
winner
Hillary
Swank
tries
her
hand
at
romantic
comedy
in
this
touching
film
based
on
the
bestselling
Irish
novel.
Holly
Kennedy
(Swank)
and
her
charming
Irish
husband
Gerry
(Gerard
Butler)
are
a
young
couple
struggling
to
get
by
in
New
York
City.
Their
marriage
is
10
years
strong,
and
they
are
madly
in
love,
but
the
fates
soon
step
in,
when
Gerry
develops
cancer
and
dies.
Holly
is
completely
devastated,
and
her
friends
Denise
(Lisa
Kudrow)
and
Sharon
(Gina
Gershon)
do
their
best
to
console
her.
Her
mother
(Kathy
Bates)
and
sister,
Rose
(Nellie
Mckay),
also
offer
their
support,
but
it
seems
nothing
can
pull
Holly
out
of
her
grief.
Then
one
day,
she
begins
to
receive
love
letters
Gerry
penned
before
his
death.
The
letters
are
filled
with
various
stories
and
instructions,
and
one
of
them
even
contains
a
plan
that
sends
her
and
her
friends
on a
trip
to
Ireland.
As
Gerry's
posthumous
letters
buoy
her
up,
Holly
slowly
begins
to
piece
her
life
back
together.
His
letters
help
her
to
celebrate
their
special
love
story,
and
remind
her
that
she
must
continue
to
live
her
life,
and
seek
out
happiness.
The
film's
stellar
cast
delivers
many
tearjerker
moments,
and
P.S.
I
LOVE
YOU
does
a
fine
job
of
yanking
on
the
heartstrings.
However,
the
tone
often
shifts
so
abruptly,
it
at
times
feels
as
though
they
couldn't
quite
decide
if
Holly
was
a
steel
magnolia,
a
Bridget
with
a
diary,
or a
devil
in
search
of
some
Prada.
But
the
strong
performances
manage
to
hold
the
tale
together,
and
the
story
is
ultimately
moving,
and
yes,
romantic.
