P.S. I Love You

Can I just say that this movie was not only the best of it's kind, but also has the best title?

*WARNING: SPOILERS TO FOLLOW*

The movie is basically about Jerry (Gerard Butler) and Holly (Hilary Swank) who married when Holly was only 19. They've been together for ten years when Jerry finds out he has a brain tumor and dies soon after. Holly is devastated and refuses to answer the phone, let alone leave her apartment. Until one day, her birthday, her friends and family stop on by her apartment to try to make her happy on her birthday. Suddenly, a cake is delivered with the words, "Happy birthday, Holly, my love. Love, Jerry" and they're all shocked. There's also a recorded message from Jerry and he tells her that he wrote out letters in advance - before he died - and they will be coming to her at certain points. Each letter has it's own significance and way to help/teach her something about getting on without him and each letter ends with "P.S. I love you". He takes her and her friends to Ireland at one point (f0r he was Irish and that's where they had met) where she meets his parents and relives the moment they first met. Finally, she can't take it anymore because her two best friends are so amazingly happy (one's getting married, the other is having a baby) and she is not. She runs to her mother (who nearly despised Jerry all along) and just cries to her. They go on a walk to talk and her mom gives her a letter and states that it's the last one (this is the point where I sobbed harder than any other part of the movie). Holly reads it and Jerry says it's her last lesson. He tells her that everything that had made him a man, he had learned from her and that she had to get on without him now, for it has been a year since his death. She also states that she no longer feels him and it's as if he's really gone now. But the movie ends on a happy note, where Holly and her mother take another trip to Ireland and Holly reunites with Jerry's ex-bandmate and best friend, William, and you immediately know that they'll hook up.

All in all, awesome, amazing, great movie. BUT, it is really a chick flick. It left me emotionally drained and I wouldn't dare recommend any guys to see it. All women will love it, however...except maybe those few who truly despise chick flicks. An A+ movie in my book...sad that it bombed at the box office.
