Stars: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler and Harry Connick Jr.
The movie starts out with a lot of promise. The story has a good premise to bring out the true romance and the grief of losing your spouse. However, the screen writers had decided to add a bit too much humor and comedy into and try to make it a romantic comedy ... thereby losing both. No, comedy definitely should not have been a part of this particular story. Another item that kind of falls flat ... the whole movie is dependent on the letters. To grip the audience with the emotions of the situation, they'd better be good. Sorry to say, they were too short, not romantic, not compelling. Another "could have been a whole lot better" movie. My Rating: 6.0
