Last week I watched a truly wonderful romantic comedy on Dvd called "P.S. I Love You"
It stars Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Kathy Bates, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon and Harry Connick Jr.
Swank plays a young widow who discovers that her Husband has left her 10 letters that start arriving to her after his funeral in lots of unexpected ways, giving hints to her such as be a disco diva, sing karaoke, go on holiday with your girlfriends, e.t.c... allowing her to work through her pain and grief and get on with her life.
However her Mother (Kathy Bates) and her friends (Lisa Kudrow & Gina Gerson) believe that the letters are stopping her from moving on with her life and keeping her in the past always thinking about her Husband as if he is still here and waiting for his letters to arrive... after all what will she do once his final letter has got to her?
I won't say anything else here about the plot, all I will say is rent or buy this Dvd now!
This is the best romantic comedy that I have seen in years, it portrays relationships very truthfully and is very funny and yet very sad at the same time and is the kind of film that appeals to men and women, i.e: it's not just a "chick flick" :)
I laughed, I cried, I found reality in all the circumstances, all the actors were wonderful (so many great actors in this film!) and almost one week later I am ready to watch it all over again!
Best film of the year so far!!

You've put me on your blog list! How sweet. I'm looking forward to visiting this blog I have to say.
Hi Ciara,
Yes you should see it, it really is a fantastic film and she is very different in this from all the other films that she has done!
Hi Expatmum,
Yes I love your Blog! and being a fellow expat I already see that we have something in common!
And thank you for adding me to your Blog list too!
See you both around!
Thanks for the review. We don't watch much telly, normally prefer to be outside, but when we do it's good to have a recommendation. Cheers Debs x
P.S. Can I put you on my visit list?
Hi The Lehners In France!
Of course you can put me on your list! I have already put your Blog on mine... I've been enjoying reading some of your posts there, really funny and interesting too!
See you around!
OK! You're there, Debs x
Ciara:
If you like Gerard Butler I can also highly recommend the great little independent film "Dear Frankie" in which he stars alongside Emily Mortimer!
That sounds great. I've got one of those Amazon subscription thingys where you send a DVD back and they send you the next one on your list ... only I think I've lost the last one they sent me so they've dried up. But I'll add this to my online list anyway, just in case I ever get organised.
Hi gonebacksouth!
haha, well it's well worth seeing!
so dig out your Amazon subscription!
All the best!
