metta1 The first sex scene was so unrealistic. She leaves her tight dress and padded bra on and yet supposedly climaxes. I asked other women and we all agreed that breasts have to be involved in the getting turned on at the very least. So many movies leave that out, so male oriented.

Desertman84 P.S. is a drama film directed by Dylan Kidd about a May-December romance turns metaphysical.The film stars Laura Linney and Topher Grace together with Gabriel Byrne,Marcia Gay Harden,Paul Rudd and Lois Smith.The screenplay by Kidd and Helen Schulman is based on Schulman's novel P.S. I Love You So Damn Much. Louise has a warm friendship with her ex-husband and a satisfying position as an admissions officer for Columbia University, but she's never gotten over losing her first love from high school. When a young man with the same name, face, and artistic talents as her lost love suddenly arrives for an admissions interview, Louise tumbles into an abrupt and questionable relationship.The movie is at its best when it follows the tics and foibles of human behavior; Linney and Grace both give vivid, lively performances. Both genders are programmed by eons of Darwinian genetic strategy, and so we believe them, and because Linney and Grace are sexy and play well together, the age gap is not a barrier so much as additional seasoning. Every time reincarnation rears its head, the movie flounders, particularly in clumsy scenes with Louise's predatory best friend, who stole Louise's boy so long ago. Fortunately, that element is almost a tacked-on subplot.Nevertheless,it takes something away from the movie.

purplesmurfwench I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it started out well, and that all the characters were well developed, and well acted, except that i didn't see the point of Marcia Gay Harden's character. I felt that she was an unnecessary appendage, as she didn't contribute much to the plot. Also, if her character is generally not very nice to Laura Linney's character, then why are they best friends? Linney's performance was fantastic, but then, isn't she always? I thought that Topher Grace was very good, except i found him slightly unconvincing during the couch sex scene. Regarding that scene, i thought it was excellent. so often in movies you get these terribly shot and acted sex scenes. In this scene, i thought it was realistic, but not gratuitous, and to be honest the scene gave me goosebumps, especially when Grace rubs his hand along Linney's profile. I was slightly disappointed in the ending, as i felt that it left the viewer somewhat hanging. But i would definitely recommend this movie to all art movie lovers. I would be very interested to read the book.

jotix100 Imagine the shock Louise Harrington, a professor at Columbia University gets upon receiving a letter from a student applicant whose name is the same as her old boyfriend, who died in a tragic car accident years ago. Little prepares her for the way Scott, a young man that shows promise, will shake her up and awakens a passion she didn't know she had inside her.Louise has been divorced from Peter, another Columbia professor, and in their last few years together had no sex together. Peter confesses to his ex-wife he is addicted to sex. Louise had no inkling about Peter's sexual life. He has had many encounters, mainly with students, women and men, as he doesn't discriminate who he takes to bed.Scott sweeps Louise off her feet and awakens in her a newly discovered passion she didn't know she had in her. This relationship is threatened when Missy Goldberg, Louise best friend and confidante, comes into town because she suspects her friend is having a mad affair with the younger man. They have both been in love with the old boyfriend who had died tragically. Missy, in fact, has always envied Louise, something that comes clear in a final confrontation at the end of the film."P.S." was directed and adapted by Dylan Kidd, an interesting director whose "Roger Dodger" made him known to film fans. The novel in which the film is based was written by Helen Schulman, but not having read it, we can't make any comparisons, although Mr. Kidd's adaptation flows easily as a movie.The best thing in "P.S." is Laura Linney. This actress projects such intelligence and radiates charm in everything she plays. We can't imagine anyone else in this part. Ms. Linney's contribution to the success of the film is invaluable. Topher Grace is also good as Scott, the student that knows exactly what he is getting into and awakens Louise into a passion she didn't know she had. Gabriel Byrne is seen as Peter, the ex-husband. Marcia Gay Harden makes a short appearance into one of the best thing in the film as the friend that has everything, yet has always envied Louise. Lois Smith and Paul Rudd have minor roles."P.S." is an adult film that makes us think because Dylan Kidd doesn't compromise with the story and because he knows how to present this tale about adult people going through painful situations and discovering things about themselves.
