P.S. I love You: Movie Review


Well, sometimes there's only one thing left to say...
This is the tagline of the new hollywood release which I saw 3 days ago in my favourite theatre.
The movie name itself was catchy enough to attract me to ticket window. Here I would like to give a review of this movie which is actually based on a novel written by Cecilia Ahern.
Plot-
The movie starts with a couple i.e. Gerry and Holly fighting over common marital issues of kids and larger apartment. They make up quickly and the movie starts with the casting. Next you see that Gerry is dead due to a brain tumor and this has left Holly devastated. The movie then shifts onto a novel kind of plot where Holly gets letters from dead Gerry .(these letters were written by Gerry himself when he was alive )
These letters assign 'tasks ' to Holy which actually help her to ease her journey of life after Gerry's loss and transition into a much sedate phase of life as a shoe designer. The movie is filled with intermittent surprises and shocks. The background score is too good and locations chosen for shooting ( especially the one in Ireland) are awesome. Special attraction is the irish accent of Gerry and the innocence of Holly's love. Hillary Swank ( Boys don't cry , Million Dollar Baby) has done great work and shown her mettle in handling the role of a widow. Lisa Kudrov ( FRIENDS fame) is as silly as always and makes the audience break into frequent giggles. The movie is too good for couples and an eye opener for folks who tend to fight too often.
Overall , a fresh feel movie recommended for couples.
Cast:
Hilary Swank as Holly Reilly Kennedy
Gerard Butler as Gerry Kennedy
Lisa Kudrow as Denise Hennessey
Gina Gershon as Sharon McCarthy

Rating- 3.5 stars/5

Do watch the movie and comment on my review.
Thankyou for jheling me...
