Better than the best kiss you’ve ever had. Full Review |

7/10 |
Shmoopy or not, the movie worked for me. Full Review |
||
 1/5 |
Lisa Kudrow, the designated comic relief, has never been so consistently unfunny, and Gina Gershon looks uncomfortable in every (pseudo-)inspirational moment. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Hilary Swank may have two Oscars, but P.S. I Love You proves she has plenty to learn about romantic comedies. Full Review |
||
|
|
Richard LaGravense's P.S. I Love You has plenty of sappy love-letter moments, but it's also a very touching and real-feeling look at the grieving process. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
You get the strong impression that no one involved wanted to risk being labeled "depressing," so they inserted a lot of lame comic moments into a film that doesn't need them. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
May be too womanly for a guy like me, but you don't have to be either sex to know all potential is dashed in a hail of clichés... Full Review |

|
Swank gets it just right with a fine-tuned subtle expression of confusion, despondency and rage. Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
...the filmmakers mean well, but instead of a celebration of life, the whole thing seems like an extended wake. Full Review |
||
|
4/10 |
It was Irish overkill. There didn't seem to be a chronological plan with the letters, so poor Holly is just forced to sit and wait to hear from her dead husband. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Talk about uneven. 'P.S. I Love You' is more uneven than an emery board, and every bit as grating when it misses its mark, which is more often than not. Full Review |
||
|
|
For all his plain-speaking, down-homey affect, Harry Connick, Jr. remains something of a mystery. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Romantic comedy is too tragic for all-out laughs. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
It could have been better, but it’s good enough to be a solid girls’ night out flick. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Lame. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Punch line should read P.S. I Love You %u2013 If you can sit through this 2 hour film and not become nauseated. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
P.S. I Love You runs 126 minutes, and that extra half-hour bloats the material into an ugly mishmash in which the attempts at comedy are excruciating and the drama gets diluted by needless set-pieces. Full Review |
||
|
|
There’s just enough here to recommend. Full Review |
||
|
|
Little more than a cryfest for those looking to release their own emotions, rather than experience anything new. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
By mid-film I was praying for Clint Eastwood to show up and take Swank off life support. No such luck. Full Review |
