Movie Review: P.S. I Love You

I was at a loose end after meeting up with a friend for our bi-monthly catch-up over hot chocolate at a cafe in Osborne Park, so decided to go and see this. Greater Union cinema's in Innaloo now have allocated seats for when you purchase your tickets.

His Scottish accent is just to die for (so much sexier than Sean Connery's) and he's not bad on the eyes either. So to is Jeffrey Dean Morgan, fake Irish accent and all. I highly recommend this film and would suggest you take some tissues when you go to see this.

Plot: Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly (Hilary Swank) and Gerry (Gerard Butler). Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other’s sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry’s death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He’s left her a bundle of notes, one for each of the months after his death, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed “PS, I love you”.

As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends and her noisy, loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing – and being braver than ever before. Life is for living, she realises – but it always helps if there’s an angel watching over you.
