Profile of P.S.

The mood of P.S. is humorous, bittersweet, and clever. The plot centers around thirtysomething life, college life, and hopes. It is a drama, comedy, and romance movie. In approach, P.S. is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in an office. It happens in contemporary times. P.S. is based on a book.

Summary of P.S.

Dylan Kidd follows up his well-received ROGER DODGER with this adaptation of Helen Schulman's novel. Adapted by Kidd and Schulman, P.S. tells the story of a frustrated thirtysomething who is desperate to make a human connection. Louise Harrington (Laura Linney) is the director of admissions for Columbia University's Master of Fine Arts program. She is also very lonely. Her best friends are her philandering ex-husband, Peter (Gabriel Byrne), and her ultra-horny childhood companion, Missy Goldberg (Marcia Gay Harden). But when Louise stumbles across the application of a hopeful student, her world is thrown upside down. It turns out this applicant, F. Scott Feinstadt (Topher Grace), shares the exact name, face, and talent of her long-deceased first love. Unable to contain herself, Louise throws herself into a passionate affair with F. Scott, which leads to disturbed confusion and forces Louise to decide what to do with the rest of her life.

Featuring standout performances from the always-reliable Linney and the charismatic Grace, P.S. is another truly modern tale from Kidd, whose directorial vision is reminiscent of bitter provocateurs Neil Labute and James Toback.

Chicago Tribune

Ultimately, p.s. confirms Kidd's talent without expanding it or achieving the comic/dramatic heights of "Roger Dodger." Full Review

In the scene in which Laura Linney closes the drapes in her office, she subtly conveys that weak-in-the knees shakiness when desire drops the floor out from under you. All the acting in this movie is like that. The movie is never predictable Read and rate it
