I finally got around to seeing ‘P.S. I Love You,’ starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. I wanted to see it for two reasons…  1. The movie features the song “Last Train Home” by GTS’ favorite Rockstar guy, Ryan Star, and 2. Everyone I knew who had seen it talked about how amazing it was.

The movie features a series of back and forths, past meetings to present day, but surprisingly, it isn’t confusing. Swank and Butler play a convincing married couple who lead ordinary lives, in an ordinary marriage in New York City. They have their ups, their downs, their forgotten dreams, but in the end the one thing that matters most is, they love each other crazy. The movie centers around their relationship, but not in the way one might think. Butler comes down with a brain tumor, but in untypical movie fashion, the story doesn’t center around the sickness, just the love story, which was a refreshing change of the usual love story movie. Following Butler’s death, Swank must pull herself together, for the first time, without the man she has loved. As time begins to pass without him, she receives a series of letters, which provide instructions for her life. Her life, without her husband.

The movie is sad, yes. I won’t lie and say it isn’t. But it’s sad in that life-examination sort of way. In a way that makes one think ‘Would I want letters if that were to happen to me?’ or ‘Would I leave letters for someone?’ It is a good, perhaps girl, maybe girl/guy movie [if he admits he likes that kind of thing, and most all of you do,] and definitely worth checking out if you have a chance.

This holiday season, there’s one movie coming out that I’m going to make it a point to see. The movie is ‘P.S. I Love You,’ which stars Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. Swank plays a widow who receives ten anonymous messages from her late husband. Not to mention GTS’ favorite, Ryan Star, will be featured on the soundtrack.

The movie will be in theaters nationwide December 21.
