I finally got around to watching this after having rented it 2 weeks ago. I keep getting those phone calls from Blockbuster threatening to take my first born child unless I return the movies NOW. Sorry, evil empire Blockbuster. Can you ever forgive me? No? Okay. I’ll just try Netflix then…
Fine, I’ll be good. I won’t talk anymore of my abhorrance for Blockbuster, or which my partner in crime tells me that she quit today. (GO KATHY! WOOHOO!)
PS, I Love You was basically a story about a woman who lost her husband, and was receiving letters from him urging her to be the best version of herself as she possibly could. It was heartbreaking to watch the characters go through the hard times and troubles and losing someone they love. However, it was equally uplifiting to watch them grow and move on and maintain the memories they cherished.
Starring:
As I mentioned before, this is a movie I will definitely own (and not because I’m refusing too lazy returning it to Blockbuster today). It was genuinely a good movie. I loved the struggle Holly found herself experiencing as the year was progressing. I won’t lie, the last half hour of the movie was far more heartbreaking than the first half hour. Holly finally broke down in realizing that Jerry is no longer here. Even though she was getting letters, he wasn’t physically there, and Holly began feeling that she could no longer “feel” his presence.
The only reason I was interested in seeing this movie in the first place was because of James, but truth be told… it ended up being a great movie just as well.
