A grieving widow finds her husband's warmth radiating from the afterlife
when she discovers that he left her a series of tasks to be revealed in ten
monthly messages and designed to help her overcome her sorrow while gradually
making the transition into a new life. Holly Kennedy (Hillary Swank) is a
beautiful and successful woman whose good-humored husband Gerry (Gerard Butler)
always stood by her side. Suddenly, and seemingly out of nowhere, Gerry succumbs
to a devastating illness and Holly is left to face an uncertain future. No one
in the world knows Holly better than Gerry, not even her mother (Kathy Bates) or
her best friends Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow). But while Holly
remains unsure if she can go on without the love of her life to help guide her,
Gerry has planned ahead. On Holly's thirtieth birthday, she receives a cake and
a special tape recording from Gerry that implores her to get out and celebrate
instead of staying in and mourning. Later, as the months wear on, a series of
additional messages arrive from Gerry - always delivered in the most remarkable
and surprising of ways. With each new message comes a new adventure, and each
letter signs off in the same familiar way: P.S. I Love You. Despite the fact
that Holly's mother and friends thing these humorous, posthumous messages are
keeping Holly bound to the past, the truth is that they are lovingly guiding her
into the future while proving that sometime death isn't just the end, but a new
beginning as well. Director Richard LaGravenese teams with screenwriter Steve
Rogers to adapt author Cecelia Ahern's best-selling novel. ~ Jason Buchanan, All
