Despite some flaws, P.S. I Love You still has some merit for a rainy Saturday night viewing. The acting is first rate. Both Swank and Butler do an excellent job with the material they were given. Butler has to do much of his acting via flashback, and for Swank, who is so good at sinking her teeth into heavy dramatic roles, P.S. I Love You seems almost too easy. Lisa Kudrow and Gina Gerson offer up some laughs in their limited time onscreen and Harry Connick Jr. seems to enjoy his role as a socially inappropriate bartender. Connick's role is one of his best turns on the big screen. Each of his scenes adds a spark and excitement to a film that is otherwise a fairly depressing affair. There are also cute segments in a karaoke bar, a singing messenger, and a "wild" dog, plus some gorgeous photography of Ireland late in the picture. However, at 127 minutes the film is much too long for its slender subject matter and the neat and tidy conclusion seems far too pat.

The DVD offers both widescreen and standard versions of P.S. I Love You on the same disc. The picture is very clean and clear. The audio is available in Dolby Digital: English 5.1 Surround, French 5.1 Surround and Spanish 5.1 Surround. Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.

The DVD offers some special features: "A Conversation with Cecelia Ahern" is about seven minutes in length. The young author discusses her book on which the film is based. Next is a music video for "Same Mistake" by James Blunt. The song is featured in the film. Then there's "The Name of the Game Is Snaps: Learn How to Play" an advertisement for the goofy game in the movie. Finally, there are a series of additional scenes that last about twelve minutes.
