alocastro I don't know why on earth they changed the movie from the book. PS I Love You is a great book but this was a bland movie. Don't waste your time. We rented this for $0.99, and I'm so glad we didn't pay more! I could only watch about half of it before I had to stop. If they followed the book, it could've been a good movie. Although the actors those chose were also all wrong. Don't waste a dime or or time on this one. Read or listen to the book!

ianlouisiana Like an Irish theme pub,full of shillelaghs,four - leaf clover,Guiness and bar staff who insist on making shamrocks on the head of your pint of porter. There is even a man dressed as a leprechaun. Only the Americans could believe that an Ireland like this actually exists. John Ford perpetrated a crime against Irishness with "The Quiet Man" with Sean T'ornton and "God Bless all here" from a brave rebel(or murdering terrorist according to one's point of view) and "P.S.I love you" merely perpetuates the stereotype. Mr G.Butler is the wild Irish Rover in New York who suffers from a fatal brain tumour so swiftly it might almost appear rude. His Coleen is Miss H.Swank in a role Miss J.Roberts must have thanked god she was too old for. Prior to his unfortunate demise he wrote a series of letters to his widow which are delivered throughout the film in some mysterious fashion that is only mysterious if you are under ten years of age in which case let me stop you and warn you that there are one or two rather raunchy scenes your mom and dad might not want you to see. Miss Swank follows these letters to the letter - if you get my drift and ends up in old Oireland having sex with one of her late hubby's best mates.Way to go,eh? It will surprise nobody that this bloke eventually ends up with her(and her mother who is casting covetous looks at his fellow farm worker) so it all ends up happily and predictably. Is it just because I'm a bloke?

A_Different_Drummer On paper this should have worked. A Hollywood A-list production with talent to die for. Swank, after an oddball role in a Karate Kid movie (not joking, look it up) sort of exploded onto the Hollywood scene and by and large has delivered nothing but great performances since. Don't think Connick has ever been less than great in a movie. Butler is usually superb as a dramatic or action lead. Supporting cast that includes Bates and Kudrow...? To mess up this film would itself be a feat but LaGravenese did it.Let's be clear. This film falls apart from the first few scenes and then, remarkably, just gets worse. There is no chemistry between Butler and Swank. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. And if you don't buy into the initial chemistry, then the rambling and erratically edited scenes which follow -- about a dead husband who keeps sending mail to his widow -- is not romantic or fun or engaging, it is just plain creepy.

princessbelle976 Okay, so this movie was way worse than I imagined it to be. Hilary Swank as the main character did not fit, and seemed to be a horrible actress. The romance was cheesy. The Irish accents were so bad they actually made me laugh. It seems like they all tried too hard to make the movie good, but in my opinion, they failed miserably anyway. The notes she received were stupid and weird. The characters just annoyed me though it may have been the fact that I disliked most of the women in the story. I actually didn't mind the scenes in Ireland too much mainly just because the scenery was nice. The flashbacks were too long and tedious however, and I found the acting overdone. Anyway, I would not recommend or watch it ever again. Waste of two hours.
