P.S.

Okay, I admit it, I’m not objective. I’m more than a little in love with Laura Linney and I was rooting for her to get it on with Topher Grace, despite the difference in their ages and despite the implausibilities and dead ends of the plot. She works in MFA admissions at Columbia, and he gets into more than he applied for. There’s some hoo-haw about him being the reincarnation of her dead boyfriend from high school, but just ignore the inanity and concentrate on the genuine heat and wit the performers bring to this romantic comedy. Dylan Kidd’s second effort is nowhere near as sharp as his Rodger Dodger, but still a pleasure to watch. (2004, dvd, n.) *6* (MC-55, RT-56.)
