P.S. I Love You (2007) Critic Reviews

The film is not a beautiful object or a memorable cultural one, and yet it charms, however awkwardly. Ms. Swank’s ardent sincerity and naked emotionalism dovetail nicely with Mr. LaGravenese’s melodramatic excesses.Read the full review

This misguided chick flick jumps through a lot of hoops just to state the obvious: "Life goes on, enjoy the time you have."Read the full review

If P.S. I Love You proves anything, it's that Hilary Swank may be a great actress, but she can't do cute.Read the full review

Aside from the inept "August Rush," there probably isn't a more clumsily manipulative motion picture out there this holiday season than P.S. I Love You.Read the full review

Blithely inept.Read the full review

FYI, there's zero chemistry between P.S. I Love You's two commodified headliners. P.S.: The plus in the harsh grade goes solely to the divine Lisa Kudrow, delivering desperately needed laughs as the twitchy widow's husband-hunting best friend.Read the full review
