Before he was a fighter in action flicks*, Gerard Butler was a lover in romantic dramedies… and he was a damned charming one. In 2007’s P.S. I Love You, he guides his new widow (Hilary Swank) through her grief from beyond the grave via a series of letters written before his death and delivered by a secret helper. It’s like Truly, Madly, Deeply without the supernatural element, and while it has its share of light, even goofy moments, it’s mostly a total sob-fest of the highest order. (Read my 2007 review.)
