have earlier incarnations, and I even liked one or two... but this
time around, the pervasive estrogen aerosol did me in.  So, I bear no
malice here (though I do worry for any viewers who find a "life
message"), but ...P.S. I LOVE YOU is not recommended.

NOT recommended?  Man, as I was reading through, I got all warm inside
thinking about Swank, who's grown so freaking cute since we first became
aware of her as a boy, then through a later incarnation as a TOMboy,
into what she finally became, this feminine and pretty thing.  Then you
drop that at the end.  You seemed on the verge of giving it a HARDY
recommendation.  I feel led on.

I finished watching this just tonight.  It took two installments.  It
was just too much of too many sweet people, with not one with a dark
side.  It's estrogen level came close to it feeling like a Lifetime
movie, but it's nice location shooting and it's full film score raised
the artistic achievement to the level of a Hallmark presentation.  What
that really means is, it didn't have that salacious, voyeuristic feel to
it that's the Lifetime trademark.  There were a FEW laughs, but everyone
was so dopey sweet, it wasn't worth it.  The thing is, I liked all those
people in it, and I saw the film had good intentions, so I wanted to
reciprocate the love.  But, alas, I could not.  It wasn't a terrible
film, but I'll have to be careful I don't rent it again in a year,
because it was totally forgettable.

My score: 2.5/5.
