Its Million Dollar Cry Baby
April 29th, 2008
Its Million Dollar Cry Baby. P.S. I Love You dvd is the most potent tear jerker since The Notebook. Its not as profound or skillful, but there certainly hasnt been anything that makes you so happy to cry since then. This weeper that cant wring out tears. Better than the best kiss you’ve ever had. Tone is everything in a movie like this, but writer-director Richard LaGravanese, working from a novel by Cecelia Ahern, cant decide between quirky indie dark comedy and laugh-a-minute TV sitcom. Presumably made for mature viewers, this fraudulent high-concept chick flick about loss and love is a stepdown for LaGravanese, driven by commercial considerations which is fine, except that the films major asset, Gerard Butler, plays a tiny part. P.S. I Love You is as treacly as the title would suggest.
