PS I Love You (2007) 6/10

Starring : Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jr, Gina Gershon, Kathy Bates, James Marsters
Director : Richard LaGravenese
Running Time : 126 mins

Following the death of her husband Gerry (Butler), Holly Kennedy (Swank) discovers that he has left instructions for letters to be delivered to her, filled with advice on how to continue her life without him. With the help of her close circle of friends, Holly tries to cope with the loss of her husband and tries to get on with her life, but struggles to keep focus on her future alone.

When a scene seems to be failing, someone is sure to fall over in this poorly conceived apparent comedy that does little to make its audience chuckle. The concept of the dead husband controlling his wife from beyond the grave is beyond misogynistic and leaves an unwelcome bad feeling in the stomach when too much thought is applied to this, although the supporting characters are actually more appealing than the leads
