"For all his plain-speaking, down-homey affect, Harry Connick, Jr. remains something of a mystery."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"Shifts between earnest melodrama and zany comedy without making much of an imprint as either...In all of her frequently breathtaking talent and depth, Hilary Swank deserves better than what P.S. I Love You has to offer."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Hilary Swank doesn't usually play girlie roles, and this unabashed chick flick demonstrates why: She's not very girlie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"May be too womanly for a guy like me, but you don't have to be either sex to know all potential is dashed in a hail of clichés..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

F
"The title of this stinker should really be compressed to P....You."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"Doesn't add anything fresh or special or memorable to our understanding of the grief process."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"P.S. I Love You is the cinematic equivalent of a Celine Dion song."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/10
"The film does have its share of funny, winning, and heartwarming/emotional moments, but the rest feel artificial and contrived, from the basic conceit to the various smaller elements that are too familiar and/or forced to elicit any sort of favorable resp"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"...the filmmakers mean well, but instead of a celebration of life, the whole thing seems like an extended wake."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1.5/4
"It's tough going relieved only by some lovely Irish scenery."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"Has its occasional oddball charms, but it is also ultimately conventional ... and pandering to go along with them."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"[T]his wonderful movie... is not relentlessly grim, but it is endlessly poignant even in its lightest moments..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"You get the strong impression that no one involved wanted to risk being labeled "depressing," so they inserted a lot of lame comic moments into a film that doesn't need them."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"Romantic comedies...need twinkle. Her character wears twinkly dresses and does twinkly things, but Swank delivers her lines as though she is still slamming into that heavy bag."  Chicago Sun-Times  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"There are many good actresses unsuited for romantic comedies, and Hilary Swank, despite her considerable talents, is one of them."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"It feels like the kind of project that Meg Ryan would have turned down back in the 90's for being just a little too hackneyed and cliched for its own good."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

8/10
"Hillary Swank makes the best of her lonely heart role but never gets to take off the gloves in an entertaining romantic drama. Supporting she-wolf Lisa Kudrow steals the show."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

"Richard LaGravense's P.S. I Love You has plenty of sappy love-letter moments, but it's also a very touching and real-feeling look at the grieving process."  Movie Views  Ryan Cracknell

1.5/4
"Lame."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell

4/10
"Sappy, floundering, disappointing melodrama...drop it in the dead letter office."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger
