Movie Reviews of P.S.

Movie Review: Emotionless and boring
Summary: 1 Stars

I had a lot of expectations about this movie after bumping into the dvd in a store and reading the plot. I guess I was expecting something like, well, P.S. I Love You with Hillary Swank but anyway, I didn't let those feelings ruin the screening of the movie.
I was waiting and waiting and waiting....and waiting for SOMETHING in this movie to happen, but it never did. It is UNbelievably boring, and it seems like nothing ever happens in it.
Someone described in the reviews here that the story is a feel-good one, about something too good to be true. Well you know what? Nobody in this movie made me feel like this was that kind of story. Laura Linney is a very good actress, and so Topher Grace, but they didn't conveny any emotion at all. There is not even a really subtle reaction to the discovery that this guy is her long-dead ex boyfriend. You'd think that would warrant a facial reaction that moves you, tears, something. Not even Marcia Gay Harden's character seems to show any of these reactions. I mean, what the heck happens in this movie? Laura Linney finds a guy who is a freaking copy of her dead high school boyfriend, not only looks-wise, but also his behaviour and everything else. She begins dating him (having sex mere hours after meeting him). You would think that would make you show some emotion if it happened to you, right? Well not in this movie. It's like we're in some parallel universe were emotions are so pass?, kinda like Beneath The Planet Of The Apes where talking is so rudimental that people communicate telepathically.
Not only didn't I feel engaged at all in this movie (except in the intro where Laura Linney is applying make-up: kinda says it all lol), I was so bored I almost fell asleep.
I can understand this MAY not be the big movie where every sentiment has to be scored by John Williams, but come on! At least show some reaction.
Bah, well, don't expect anything out of this movie, maybe you'll like it better than I have, I paid full price for this movie and I regret it.
The characters in this movie go through life as if they were mannequins.
It's like they are dead inside, like this movie.

Summary of P.S.

Louise is a divroced 30 something admissions officer at columbia. When a graduate school application crosses her desk she arranges to interview the young painter. When scott appears he bears an uncanny resemblence to louses high school love an artist who died in a car crash 20 years earlier. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/28/2007 Starring: Laura Linney Topher Grace Run time: 89 minutes Rating: R

A May-December romance turns metaphysical in P.S., from the director of the critically acclaimed Roger Dodger. Louise (Laura Linney, You Can Count On Me, Kinsey) has a warm friendship with her ex-husband and a satisfying position as an admissions officer for Columbia University, but she's never gotten over losing her first love from high school. When a young man with the same name, face, and artistic talents (Topher Grace, Traffic) as her lost love suddenly arrives for an admissions interview, Louise tumbles into an abrupt and questionable relationship. P.S. is at its best when it follows the tics and foibles of human behavior; Linney and Grace both give vivid, lively performances. But every time reincarnation rears its head, the movie flounders, particularly in clumsy scenes with Louise's predatory best friend (Marcia Gay Harden, Mystic River), who stole Louise's boy so long ago. Fortunately (or strangely), that element is almost a tacked-on subplot; center stage is the romance between Linney and Grace, which glows sweetly. Also featuring Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects, Miller's Crossing) and a woefully underused Paul Rudd (The Shape of Things, Clueless). --Bret Fetzer
