Critics Consensus

Hilary Swank is miscast as the romantic lead in this clichéd film about loss and love.

2/4

Snippets of sharp, witty dialogue are lost in a sea of sappy clichés and too-cute-for-words plot twists.

Swank does her best, but she seems lost in the movie's identity crisis, taking the project seriously one moment and doing a pratfall off a karaoke stage the next.

Two problems stand out – the script and the casting.

Butler is rarely as adorable as he is here, as the specter of a dead man guiding his wife to new love.

A beautiful romantic drama based on Cecelia Ahern's best-selling novel of the same name, with a very eclectic cast, including two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank, as well as Gladiator, the eternal Phoebe, and even Negan is here. The plot is very exciting and engaging, and it also conveys a very nostalgic feeling.

A fantastic film! I've probably watched this a hundred times by now and it never disappoints. The plot, storyline is realistic. What most people don't realise is Swank is playing a 30 year old who doesn't know what she wants out of life whilst her husband, Gerry is alive. Hence the constant anger, frustration and arguments. The love existed which she took for granted until her cards were dealt and life happened. Death is a part of life and Holly (Swanks character) still had some growing up to do so the shock of it all led her to spiral. Swank caught the essense very well. As a woman, I can understand the reactions and mood swings she experienced. Not an easy role for anyone,especially since she is the main character. She did brilliantly! A realist would make a great critic for this film. Gerard Butler, though had snippets in the film came across amazing as an Irish (actually Scottish in real life), comical bright light of a man. Very vast as an actor since he's done more action roles, but clearly has the ability to hold down Rom-Com movies. Swank has also said Gerard is husband material during an interview. I can see that. Would love to see him in another. A film to help any age to get through every level of grief. Well worth a watch! Will always be a favourite!
