Advantages: Lovely story, touching, emotional, good cast Disadvantages: Bit soppy, some might not think its as good as the book
To be honest, I am not at all a fan of films which have been adapted from books, as I have yet to find one which has actually been any good. The Harry Potter films just don't have the magic of the books, The Devil Wears Prada film wasn't fab either so these films tend to be disappointing for me as I loved the books and thought the films didn't match up exactly. However, I couldn't stand the book this film is based on so I held out hope that the film might be marginally better than its book!

The plot of the game is that there are five different cases which you have to solve, similar to the approach taken by the television series. You use the stylus to find areas of interest, objects, getting samples and the like, to help ...
Advantages: Emotionally charged - thought provoking. Disadvantages: None.

As the days and weeks go by, Holly receives more letters from Gerry, each one of them asking her to perform a certain task, and every one of them signed; P.S. I Love You. Following the instructions on the letters, Holly's depression slowly lifts, and, with Gerry's guidance, she learns how to enjoy life once again?
'P.S. I Love You' is an incredibly heart-warming film, and a great cinematic achievement in unpretentious storytelling.
As you will have guessed by the title, the movie is a weepy so make sure you have a box of tissues at hand - what the title doesn't tell you is that it will make you smile and laugh as well as make ...
