Anecdotes:

The letter that Gerry sends his parents, which is seen only briefly, reads: "Dear Mum & Dad, Well, Doc says there's not much time so I thought I'd write to you, seeing how bad we Kennedys are with modern day contraptions like telephones. Tell Dad to not lay about and to take care of his legs - keep them walking. I always think of Dad walking across the farm yelling after the hands too lazy to keep the chickens fed. And you... yelling at Dad to tre... a Father's hand..." The rest cannnot be seen.

Goofs:

Continuité: When Holly and her friends are in the boat and they all have their life vests inflated, when Holly's first opens, the blow pin cap is off. In the next scene that zooms in on her face, the cap is on.

Guillemet:

Holly Kennedy: Will you listen to him?
Vicky: What?
Holly Kennedy: He's obviously worried about this. Look at him... he's pale.
Vicky: Who are you to tell me how to talk to my husband?
Holly Kennedy: I'm saying you shouldn't push this on him if he doesn't want to do it
Vicky: I'll push whatever the hell I want on him. He's my husband. I want this apartment, we're doing this.
Holly Kennedy: Say no Ted!
Vicky: It is amazing to me that you are still talking. Ted don't listen to her.
Holly Kennedy: Ted she's being a tyrrant. She's got your balls on one of those things that you know uh cling back and forth. You know what i mean?
Vicky: You bitch!

Total tearjerker falsely billed as a romantic comedy

I saw this movie on a girls-night-out to the movies, and we chose it on the basis of the previews, which had billed it as a romantic comedy. Wow, were they ever wrong! The basic plot is this: Woman loses husband far too early and tragically. Woman grieves for husband, hard. Husband, through a plan pre-arranged before his death, sends woman letters at set intervals, each one causing a fresh stream of tears to fall.

The acting was great. Hillary Swank was particularly good in her role, and let us see her vulnerability and conflicting emotions. The supporting cast was all excellent, and ladies, there is more than enough male eye candy in this movie to go around.

But - and I strongly warn all of you considering this as a light comedy or a date movie - it's sad. Very very sad. Even the happy parts are sad. If you go see this, wear waterproof mascara and bring lots of tissues. Don't say I didn't warn you.
