just finished watching P.S. I Love You … the movie based on the novel by Cecilia  Ahern. i give it … 3/5

it’s a lovely movie. the ideas are great. but the delicious hero, hillary swank’s husband who died in this movie played by gerard butler … does not seem to have a strong chemistry with swank. i just think swank doesn’t really fit into this role. yes, she is supposed to be sad. but in the flashback scenes where she doesnt know yet that she is going to lose him … she still looks sad!

but i do love the idea, and the irish parts … but … just sthing not right. and you have amazing actors … gina gershon, lisa kudrow, james marsters, the also delicious harry connick jr and kathy bates … well, they weren’t really given the chance to shine. i just feel like … they should hv gone for another set of actors … coz the only challenging parts were given to the leads … gerard butler is GREAT. he has this inner shine, a cheekiness … great actor. but swank … and she looks all wrong wearing the girly girly dresses. and why does she have to show her body in the beginning … she’s not sexy … i mean i love her in the other movies … but i feel like this movie … she was just wrong.

but you know what … i don’t know. i haven’t read the novel. so maybe she’s perfect for the role. but i shall say it again. hillary swank sucks in this movie. eventhough it made me shed some tears.
