    Omg! Have been viewing PS i love you for the nth time... I'm looking forward for a Gerard and Jen movie! However, the movie don't seem to be Jen's genre; she's more suitable to the-ugly-truth role. Nonetheless, i'll never miss their movie for the world!

    I have to sound off and agree... Love Butler! He was the magnificent in Phantom of the Opera, and simply adorable in PS I love you... But, I have no love for Aniston, not even a little bit....

    Actually, he should get Jolie for the part of the ex wife and then he can steal her away from Brad!

    I love him, not so much her. I bought "PS I love you" simply because he was in it, and was very disappointed that he was in very little and Hillary Skank was in most of it. I hope he can do better than this "Friend."
