Worst Modern Rom-Coms: ''P.S. I Love You"

I knew Gerard Butler would be a star when I saw him elevate the "Tomb Raider" sequel from unwatchable to mildly interesting.

That's talent.

But he's hopelessly outmatched in "P.S. I Love You," just released on DVD. The film stars Hilary "I have no business being in a rom-com" Swank as a recent widow whose mourning is alleviated by letters sent from her deceased beau (Butler). Before the poor fella kicked, he wrote a series of letters to be sent to Swank's character over the coming year to comfort her while she grieves.

Great premise. God-awful execution. Swank's performance should be the template for what a rom-com heroine shouldn't behave like. And poor Harry Connick Jr. pops up as a potential love interest spouting some of the world's worst movie dialogue.
