A widow (Hilary Swank) gets messages from her deceased husband that help her through her rough time. Despite funny moments, touching scenes, and and a very decent cast, the movie ended up being a little too sappy and boring for me.
Hilary Swank did not come across all that funny or sad when the moment called. I think that Lisa Kudrow was the funniest of all the cast. The Irish husband (Gerard Butler) was Ok. Harry Connick Jr? Um, they could have found someone much better. Really – I don’t think the cast did a bad job — they were just, well, uninspiring.
Overly long setups and a story that is just not believable detract from the drama and romantic comedy.
