Movie Review: P.S. I Love You

Have you ever found yourself crying during a movie, even though you didn't like the movie? Have you ever cried during an entire movie, even though you didn't like it? I haven't either, until last night when I watched "P.S. I Love You". I seriously cried through the entire thing, and I didn't like it at all! This movie seriously sucked, and I'm angry that I showed any emotion in front of it. I felt weak, and used... like they figured out the one thing that would make me cry (an incredibly hot and funny Irish guy dying) and used that as a theme for the movie. I realize I should've known this going into it, but I thought I would at least like the movie!

I don't know where to begin on what I didn't like about "P.S. I Love You". The first thing I guess would be the length. It was like 500 hours long (or a little over two), and nothing eventful ever really happened besides the main guy dying, which they don't even show. One of the other things was Harry Connick Jr.'s character. Now, I know there's a lot of ladies out there that have a thing for Harry, but he was so annoying in this movie. Every time he spoke I threw up a little in my mouth. His character was completely useless, and I spent the entire movie hoping that he and Hilary wouldn't end up together. The plot... was depressing as hell. In fact the whole movie was utterly depressing, which is okay for some movies, but not a romantic comedy! And while I knew the concept coming into it, I was expecting it to be done in a better, funnier way. It didn't help that 50% of the movie was flashbacks, which I wasn't expecting and it kind of kept the plot from going anywhere.

The two things that kept me watching (and I apologize to my boyfriend in advance if he's reading this) were the smoking hot Irish guys. I don't think they were actually Irish (I know at least one of them was not), but they were dead-sexy. I recommend this movie to all the ladies out there if you all are interested in seeing some sexy man-meat for two hours. There's even a nice Irish butt shot in there. They are all that kept this movie from being a complete waste of time, and tears. My eyes are still puffy from all the crying I did.

The real intriguing part of the movie was: How is Hilary Swank's character attracting all these good looking men? She's good looking, but not that good looking; I mean, there's a reason someone chose her to play a hermaphrodite, right? (Okay, that's kind of a low blow... you're still great, Hilary) Maybe there is just a shortage of women in their little Irish town. I mean, they even found Kathy Bates attractive over there. I should probably go to this town to do a little investigating...
