Okay, it isn't a good movie, but I must confess... I cried... a lot... several times. Yes, maybe it's cliched, corny, predictable and has a flawed screenplay, but what can I say it touched my weak point.
Something you can't deny about PS I love you, apart from being very emotional, is that it's got great performances (I LOVE Kathy Bates!), excellent visuals (specially the scenes in Ireland), a creative plot and a good soundtrack.
Hilary Swank did not fully cover my expectations this time, but for what the movie had to offer, I think she was correct. I just couldn't see her romantic side, her vulnerability. Lisa Kudrow's character was pretty similar to her famous Phoebe Buffay, and Kathy Bates was, though limited screen time, delightful as always. Gerard Butler's Irish accent was awful, but he did seem to understand the character and portrayed him very well.
The creativity of the plot was sabotajed by its rather poor screenplay. The dialogues were plain, corny and cliched. It sometimes seemed as if the writers did not know how to make a sentence of more than four words, and sometimes as if we had to figure out some things by ourselves, without any dialogue. Thank God the actors were good and could give some life to the screenplay.
Overall, it may not be a masterpiece, but it's still worth watching.
