This movie was even better than I expected...I cried from beginning to end because it was so sweet!! This movie broke my heart, but by the end you're crying because you're so happy for her. It is a MUST SEE for every girl...espeically if you need a good cry! ;o)

There is so much chemistry between Gerry Butler and Hilary Swank in this movie. It has sad moments, but the times they are together, you can feel the warmth and come away feeling good after seeing the movie.

I heard this film had some funny moments, but wondered how funny a movie with a sad premise (husband dies and leaves wife letters to help her get on with her life) could be. I figured it would be more tears than laughs, but I was wrong! At an advance screening on 12/13 the audience laughed, big belly laughs, in many places, and cried in others. What a wonderful vehicle for Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler to prove that they can both do fare that is much lighter than their usual. They are funny and romantic. I actually ended up loving all 3 of the male leads. I was already a fan of Butler (300, Phantom of the Opera), who plays Gerry Kennedy, husband to Swank's Holly, but I came away really liking Harry Connick Jr. and having a bit of a crush on Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yes, it is a chick flick, but I expect my husband is going to enjoy this one too. I can't wait for the official opening on the 21st, I'll be seeing it again then, and a few more times, I'm sure!

I was kind of surprised that Hillary Swank did pull off being a vulnerable, heart-broken young widow who managed to maintain her sense of humor after her beloved husband's death. And it was her husband who helped her through it. Sure it's a bit sappy, and it's definitely a chick flick; but it's also a good date movie, and the Irish landscape is gorgeous. I disagree that Swank failed in her portrayal. She pulled it off. Lisa Kudrow was delightful as one of Holly's who was itching to get married and Harry Connick Jr. played his unlucky at love role delightfully as well. Gerry Butler's Irish accent seemed a bit over the top to my American ears, but I believe he probably nailed it for the region his character was from. His comedic timing is spot-on and you so wish he weren't dead!

This movie sucked any and every tear my eyes can produce right out. I could NOT STOP crying!! It was the most beautiful love story ever. The way she loved him, then was just left alone. After he died, I started bawling every time it showed him on screen. I love how much they love each other! And this movie showed me that Hilary Swank can be REALLY cute! It was truly adorable. This movie couldn't get enough praises from me. Words cannot describe how it affected me and the way I look ay my relationship! I've learned to cherish every moment, because one day he might just be gone...
