Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her
life-a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So
when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The
only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly
better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry
wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her
grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday
in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry,
who proceeds to order her to get out and "celebrate herself." In the weeks
and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways,
each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S.
I Love You. Holly's mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon)
and Denise (Lisa Kudrow), begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping
Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into
a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting
and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship
and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning
for life. |
