P. S. I Love You (2007)

Cast: Hilary Swank (Holly Kennedy), Gerard Butler (Gerry Kennedy), Lisa Kudrow (Denise Hennessey), Gina Gershon (Sharon McCarthy), James Marsters (John McCarthy), Kathy Bates (Patricia Rawley), Harry Connick Jr. (Daniel Connelly)
For complete info on this amazing cast, see IMDb's P. S. I Love You page.

This movie about a young woman who loses her husband to cancer and the messages he left her to help her get through the pain of his death is very well done. The cast is completely amazing (it was great to see Sherie Rene Scott as the travel agent, too). The scenery in Ireland was beautiful and fit very well in this touching movie. It would have been worth seeing on a big screen for some of the shots of the countryside. Of course, there are no special effects, so it's a very good movie to rent.

If you don't like fairly sappy love stories, P. S. I Love You is not for you. That should be clear from the title. P. S. I Love You is a very well done romantic movie and I highly recommend it if you do enjoy romantic dramas.

Hope Floats (1998)

Cast: Sandra Bullock (Birdee Pruitt), Harry Connick Jr. (Justin Matisse), Gena Rowlands (Romona Calvert), Mae Whitman (Bernice Pruitt), Michael Pare (Bill Pruitt), Cameron Finley (Travis), Kathy Najimy (Toni Post)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Hope Floats page.

After being dumped on a national TV show (similar to Jerry Springer), Birdee returns to the small town she grew up in and her mother's home to try to piece her life back together. I know this movie got a lot of bad reviews, but I think that if you go into it expecting to get a sweet story about a woman pulling her life together after being publicly humiliated, you'll find it. I really enjoyed this movie. I think the acting is very good and the story is sweet. I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy - even one that includes country music, which is normally not my cup of tea. If you missed this one, consider renting it.

Grade: A-
