Watch this one with a box of tissues. A FULL BOX! I am so grateful I didn't see this in the theatres, because I would have forgotten tissues, and I would have been a mess! It sounds funny, but I had to take breaks, because it was too much sometimes. And believe me, my husband was making fun of me. He kept saying "Why are you watching it!?" To which I replied, "Because it's good." And it was.
Based on a novel by the same name, and starring Hillary Swank and Gerard Butler, with a supporting cast including Kathy Bates, Harry Connick Jr., and Lisa Kudrow. Holly (Hillary Swank) is married to Gerry (Gerard Butler) who dies within the first ten minutes of the show, and the rest centers around her receiving letters he had written to her before he passed.
I think the reason why this was so hard to watch for me, was because I am married. I am sure it's sad for anyone, but I believe there is something slightly different in watching it when you think of your spouse in the place of Gerry. Plus I am an emotional girly sap. So the tears were a plenty.
If you feel like a good cry, and let's face it.. us girls sometimes do. This is the movie for you. It was very well acted and though some parts were slightly unbelievable, it was still great. Though it's mostly a drama, there are definite funny parts that will have you laughing out loud, through your tears of course.
Rent this one, but be prepared.

I LOVED this movie! And I sobbed--in the theatres by the way--and my mom even made fun of me! But, I really liked it! (I will admit, I am afraid to read the book since the movie made me cry so much!)
One of the movies that me cry so hard. Bad for me to say this but, I shed more tears in this movie that when my Grandma passed away.

Just stumbled across your blog, great idea!! I loved this movie, and I also loved the book that it's based on. The author, Cecelia Ahern, is my FAVORITE author! If you ever do reviews on books, you should check out some of hers! My favorites are "if you could see me now" and "there's no place like here."
