PS I Love You
So generally I don't post much, I'm more of a LJ-reader than a writer, but I just got back from an advance screening of PS I Love You and I can't help myself I just had to share.
I won't spoil the plot for anyone but I will say that it had me laughing and crying in equal measures. It was poignant and thoughtful/thought-provoking without being, in my opinion at least, overly sentimental and schmaltzy. The soundtrack was fun and the scenery a picture.
The real winner was the cast though:
I'll admit to not recognising Hilary Swank until her name came on screen but I think she did a great job. Gerard Butler was fantastic, having not seen Phantom Of the Opera I was really surprised with his singing voice but watching him prance around in boxers and braces (suspenders) almost broke me . Kathy Bates was wonderful as always and I really enjoyed Lisa Kudrow's character too. I had no idea James Marsters was in the movie going in, but I like the short dark hair a lot!
For the Supernatural fans out there , there's a lot of Jeffery Dean Morgan to appreciate in this movie. *nekkidbuttocksnekkidbuttocksnekkidbuttocks* I mean with the singing and the guitar playing and the cute Irish brogue and the bare feet *nekkidbuottocksnekkidbuttocks* I was just a big puddle of goo.
Although I must admit that it did make me laugh when my boyfriend turned to me part way through and said "Papa Winchester looks at look younger without the beard" *happy sigh*
So anyway I'll quit rambling and just say that I unreservedly recommend go see it as soon as you get the chance. And if any of my Brissie friends wanna go see it, I'd definitely be up to a second viewing!
