Hilary Swank is miscast as the romantic lead in this clichéd film about loss and love.

Snippets of sharp, witty dialogue are lost in a sea of sappy clichés and too-cute-for-words plot twists. Go to Full Review
Brian Tallerico The Deadbolt 12/21/2007
Swank does her best, but she seems lost in the movie's identity crisis, taking the project seriously one moment and doing a pratfall off a karaoke stage the next. Go to Full Review

Sarah Z. @sarahtonin1111 Dec 1 Such a cute movie! Love all the actors in this movie. Very moving story! See more Michele D. @GG1973 Nov 16 One of my favorites See more Pia P Oct 1 A fantastic film! I've probably watched this a hundred times by now and it never disappoints. The plot, storyline is realistic. What most people don't realise is Swank is playing a 30 year old who doesn't know what she wants out of life whilst her husband, Gerry is alive. Hence the constant anger, frustration and arguments. The love existed which she took for granted until her cards were dealt and life happened. Death is a part of life and Holly (Swanks character) still had some growing up to do so the shock of it all led her to spiral. Swank caught the essense very well. As a woman, I can understand the reactions and mood swings she experienced. Not an easy role for anyone,especially since she is the main character. She did brilliantly! A realist would make a great critic for this film. Gerard Butler, though had snippets in the film came across amazing as an Irish (actually Scottish in real life), comical bright light of a man. Very vast as an actor since he's done more action roles, but clearly has the ability to hold down Rom-Com movies. Swank has also said Gerard is husband material during an interview. I can see that. Would love to see him in another. A film to help any age to get through every level of grief. Well worth a watch! Will always be a favourite! See more Robson C Jun 14 Após a morte do seu marido, Holly começa a receber cartas escritas por ele que vão lhe ajudando a sair do luto. Assistindo a este filme, entendi o porquê dele ter se tornado uma espécie de clássico das comédias românticas. E isso se de principalmente pelo talento e a química do casal principal: Gerard Butler e Hillary Swank. Não há como não se convencer que Gerry não é apaixonado por Holly. Basta olhar para os olhos de Butler, que chegam a brilhar. Além disso, temos um elenco de grande talento reunido: Kathy Bates, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Além da surpresa de ver Harry Connick Jr no papel mais desconcertante do filme: um homem que quando abre a boca, sai as coisas mais inesperadas e sinceras possíveis. Completando isso, temos um roteiro bem redondo e esperto, com boas sacadas, que constrói bons personagens, além de fazer o público chorar nos momentos certos. E uma direção que sabe que o que tem, não precisa reinventar nada, apenas conduzir a todos ao final. O filme não promete finais felizes, mas possibilidades que só dependem de Holly. A cena do velório no bar ao som de Fairytale of New York, com os Pogues e Kisty MacColl é, ao mesmo tempo, hilária e emocionante. Um sentimento bittersweet que envolve o filme inteiro. See more Deborah C Mar 15 I was disappointed for any bad reviews! I loved the story, acting of all rolls. At first I wasn't sure about H. Swank but as the story goes on she was perfect for the role and superb acting. Love G.Butler as well. H. Connick Jr love him he is under rated always! Remember hewas a singer first, then went to acting. He can do anything and a good Christian man! At first I was disappointed Harry wasn't the lead role but then fell in love with G.B. THIS movie was about several things and I felt every stage of grief that she felt! Also I want to go to Ireland now but am amputee in wheelchair so not sure how much accessibility! My son has Asburger Syndrome so Harry did an excellent portrayal! Go Harry Connick Jr,your#1 fan! See more Noel R Feb 12 Thank god RT has elevated the audience scores, this is one of MANY examples where critics do not know what the hell a movie is aiming for. Nobody in this movie was trying to win an award, they acted their parts just fine. I think these reviews are the basis for the episode of the office where they debate Hillary Swank.
