P. S. I Love You DVD Review
Ok, so a while ago my girlfriend forced me to watch The Notebook. Sorry for all you ladies out there, but the movie sucks. Seriously. I made it suck for her to by asking questions. He says famously that he "wrote her a letter every day for a year." Ok, so, did you mail two letters on Sunday? What about holidays? Were there days when you would send her three letters? See, to me, you kind of lose the impact of sending those love letters if she gets three in one day. Today that would be called stalking. Well, after never having to sit through that again good old Hollywood has to pop out another love letter movie. This time it is different though, the dude dies right away, which was cool, but man, he wrote her some serious letters..
P. S. I Love You stars Hilary Swank, who blew me away in Boy's Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, shot right back to the Next Karate Kid against Gerard "300 Abs" Butler. I was hoping for some sort of fight scene between them, but when it happened it was the relationship sort of fight that ended with kissing (no love scene) instead of a bloody rage.
The reality of the film is based around this ultra quick death and he somehow had time during his brain tumor to set up a year long scavenger hunt filled with presents and heart felt letters. How he accomplished this in the hospital without his wife's knowledge is anyones guess. Hilary bumbles along this outragous quest to figure out how cute her dead husband was, then she (spoiler) figures out that she is an amazingly gifted shoe designer, so gifted that she has enough to open her own botique in New York within six months of her first drawing of a shoe. Wonders never cease.
Seriously, this is a total gushy girl movie, and if you are somehow conned into seeing it just remember it so the next time you want to say, "Honey, I'm going to play video games for the next two hours. Oh, and P. S. I love you."
