"Johnny Betts is a rude 'abnoxious' jerk who needs to be 'punced' in the face."- A grammatically-challenged non-fan
	Movie Review - P.S. I Love You (2007)     (What this rating means)       Director: Richard LaGravenese Starring: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, and Harry Connick Jr. Rated: PG-13 (for sexual references and brief nudity) Length: 126 minutes Genre: Romantic Dramedy Tagline: Sometimes there's only one thing left to say. Studio: Warner Bros. Website: P.S. I Love You Release: December 21, 2007 PLOT Holly and Gerry are married. Gerry dies, anticlimactically, of a brain tumor. Holly doesn't really cry nor does she grieve as much as one might expect a young widow to. But Gerry was a good guy. Before he died, he wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her minimal grief but in rediscovering herself. As the letters continue to come, Holly gradually sullies the memory of her dead husband by hopping into bed with the first Irish-accented hunk she comes across. A failed attempt to force moviegoers to cry ensues. JOHNNY'S TWO CENTS That. Was. Brutal. ODDS & ENDS Johnny initially thought William was Javier Bardem. "What in the world?" he thought to himself, "What's Javier Bardem doing here? He went from No Country for Old Men to this??? Sad." A few minutes later, Johnny was hit with a realization, "Ooooooooh, wait a minute! That's the dad from Supernatural!" Indeed, William was played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Bardem's reputation remains intact. During the filming of a strip sequence, Gerard Butler's suspenders hit Hilary Swank on the forehead. She received a cut and had to be brought to a hospital where she received several stitches. When Holly tries to choose between different job options, one of them is vampire slayer. Another character in the movie is played by James Marsters, who portrays the vampire Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hilary Swank also played in the original film of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hilary Swank was in Million Dollar Baby with Clint Eastwood who was in Space Cowboys with Tommy Lee Jones who was in No Country for Old Men with Josh Brolin who was in Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon. MAMA'S APPROVAL A few "s" bombs are dropped, along with G-d**n and other vain uses of the Lord's name. Holly has post-husband's death sex, and we see a gratuitous shot of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's naked rear-end after he takes a shower. There's absolutely nothing here for kids. TRAILER COMPARISON Whatever. THE GIST This is strictly a chick flick. Guys will hate it. Hey, I even enjoyed The Notebook, but I could barely sit through this crap. Ladies, please, don't make this one that you force your man to sit through. I promise you'll owe him big time.
