Plot:
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...( read more

Laura Linney is amazing, and in the most part, the actors were great, but it is not that much to the movie, IMHO.
Thirty-nine-year old divorcée Louise Harrington (Laura Linney) works in the admissions office at Columbia University School of the Arts in her relationship with her ex-husband Peter Harrington (Gabriel Byrne). Louise Harrington receives an application from F. Scott Feinstadt (Topher Grace) as the same name as her high school sweetheart was killed in a car crash.
Laura Linney outshines the film, the cast, even herself sometimes. I was actually surprised an actress of her calibre would sign on to a film such a this, the plot goes nowhere, gives us nothing and is of no particular interest. P.S's problem seems to be its unwillingness to settle in a particular genre romantic comedy or drama, I personally would have liked it alot more if it just dealt with the drama.
Basically if your a fan of Linney you'll enjoy her role showcasing just her talents as for the film there's nothing new, nothing we haven't see before.
Surprisingly a very cute romantic comedy. I love Topher, he adds wit and humor to everything he does!
It was an interesting but slightly flawed film, but with engaging performances from Laura Linney and Topher Grace.
A great idea for a story but brought across badly.
It doesn't have the power that such a film needs. If you need something to fall asleep to then this could be the film.
weird movie. parts of it just sucked, others were compelling and insightful. I didn't always feel like I knew what was going on.
Linney and Grace deliver superb performances in this imperfect, but nonetheless very sensitive film.
A silly premise too easily believed by the female leads. It's spirals out of control about halfway through, but Laura Linney is wonderful, as always.
I could not get into this movie no matter how hard I tried. Topher Grace just can't be a good actor in my eyes after he played Eric on That 70s Show.
Dull, dull, dull. Every scene is dull. Even the sex scene and the scenes with lovely Topher (!). However, as usual, Laura Linney makes total magic. The woman is a national treasure.
I think Laura Linney's hot. She's so great at playing women of higher authority. So when she delivers lines like, "Take off your clothes," with that deep, commanding voice of hers, it works so well because she can be so intimidating and attractive at the same time. That makes her perfect for the role of a University Admissions lady who finds out that the last man she's truly ever loved is somehow reincarnated from the dead. Since I can be a hopeless romantic sometimes, I was drawn to that premise. The movie also had one of the best sex scenes I've seen in a while, but I think that's mainly because I think Laura Linney's hot.
I loved Roger Dodger, so I had a natural curiosity for Dylan Kidd's follow-up. P.S. is a different movie in terms of style, with the shaky-cam effect gone, and the movie no longer feels like a documentary at times. Instead, it's a sweet, tender movie with autumn lighting brought about by bright, orange sunsets.
I have a problem with movies with a lot of music, especially when it's pretty good and is played so much that you just know it's getting in the way of the film when it should be enhancing it instead. P.S. had a lot of that. There's also quite a bit of melodrama stuck here and there, between some scenes with a lot of promise. At first, I was moved by it, but then later realized that it felt a bit tacked on and it just came out of the blue. Once the movie ends, I'm left feeling like nothing really happened--a bit of a letdown there.
P.S. I enjoyed the movie though, but I felt it could have been better.
Every so often the film shows promise but then there's some really cheesy dialogue or a standard film cliche to bring you back down.
This is a movie where I'd seen the trailer over and over again and I just had to see the movie, I'm glad that it didn't dissappoint me.
I thought it was a really well made movie and it was such an individual and unique movie, the actors and actresses played very well and I'm glad to have seen such a piece of art, and I can't believe that the person who wrote the script even could come up with something like this!
I just didn't get the point of this film, it made no sense and didn't even have a clear storyline! It was just trying to be more clever than it actually was. It did however provide me and a few friends with two hours of entertainment as we laughed at the really bad dialogue and it gave me an excuse to wtach Topher Grace for a couple of hours.
I was expecting a lot more than this - Laura Linney is one of my favourite actresses and Topher Grace is a big up and comer but it was a decidedly average picture in the end. Nothing much really happens at all. Oh and Laura Linney fucking Topher Grace? That's pushing it i'm afraid :p The whole supernatural back from the dead thing irked me a bit too. I guess I just had too high expectations. I wonder whether this was filmed before Jindabyne because Laura was with Gabriel Byrne in that one too.
A good reincarnation drama that is well acted and the plot is kind of a lighter and less controversial version of "Birth". Laura Linney and Topher Grace give really fine performances and the script is solid. My only problem with this film is that after I finished watching it I felt unsatisfied by the whole thing. Don't get me wrong it's good but I felt that it didn't explore its ideas enough.
This is the type of movie that actors will cite when they want to do an audition scene. It seemed more like a character study, or an acting workshop, than a well-rounded movie. However, this movie has a sex scene that is so organic that I literally had to cover my eyes because I felt like I was watching porn starring two actors that I really like. Fantastic.
It was a pretty good movie. It would have been better had they left out the reincarnation part. There really was no need for it.
Although their relationship annoyed me, this was a great movie. And you get to see Topher shirtless so woo! ;)
