What are we doing posting about this cornball film and soundtrack? Didn’t we say “PS I Love You” looks like it “insults the intelligence of women even dying to revel in a shameless romantic comedy” in our 10 9 Films of the Fall/Xmas 2007 Season We Could Give A Rat’s Ass About holiday season film preview?
Yes, in fact we did, but the last time we posted about a wretched-looking feel-good movie and soundtrack, every soccer mom that apparently reads our blog is gaga for him.
Due December 4, the soundtrack to this sappy, widow-gets-love-letters from the dead masterpiece features songs by The Pogues, James Blunt, Nellie Mckay (she has a small role in the film), The Academy Is… and Montreal indie-rockers the Stills who are the “one of these things doesn’t belong” dark horse of this thing…sorta. Their “In The Beginning” track is from their push-reset/recalibrated 2006 record Without Feathers whose granola-y sound isn’t entirely out of place on this collection of tear-jerkers.
“PS I Love You” storms into the hearts of women around the nation on December 21. You can’t pay us to ever see it. Ever. Oh yeah, Irish singersongwriter Laura Izibor and L.A. band Hope wrote their songs exclusively for the film. Congratulations. We have an extra copy. Email us if you want it, It’s long gone, please stop emailing us.
