this movie is based on book by cecelia ahern...i have not read the book so m not sure which is better the book or the movie....but i sure loved the movie...i guess the book wud be interesting to read.......
well this is story is about holly kennedy (hilary swank) and her husband gerry kennedy (gerard butler)....when holly loses gerry to brain tumour she is devastated.....she becomes a recluse..does not want to meet anyone talk with anyone....its of course natural if your husband who u have been married to for nearly ten years dies and u r still short of ur 30th birthday......she loses interest in life....
till she gets a surprise b'day cake with a letter and cassette in gerry's voice saying how he has planned how she should get further in life..and that he wud guide her through this phase of life...and so she keeps getting letters addressed to her from unexpected places which guide her..as he knows her the best...he knows how she is gonna react to the situation...he makes her do stuff they did together like sing in bar.....go to ireland on vacation (where they had met first)
by making her do these things which r so difficult for her he purges himself out of her......he remains with her but as a fond memory but not as someone who holds her back in life....he helps her find direction in life.....
good points :
beautiful story......romance is beautifully shown.....
blending of past with current is done very well
acting by hilary swank and gerard butler is good...they r well supported by by lisa kudrow and kathy bates as friend and mother
direction by richard lagravenese is nice
bad points :
cant really think.....
its a feel good movie..some parts r really emotional......i had tears in my eyes at certain times...
good movie all in all
