Fun Facts: The letters in the film are the same thing as the novel, although, the plot is quite different.

 

Gerard Butler later had to apologize to Irish fans in particular for his poor attempt at an Irish accent.

 

Even though the book was setting entirely in Ireland, parts of the film are set in New York City.

 

According to the Christmas 2006 issue of People magazine, Jeffrey Dean Morgan had to learn to play the guitar for his part in this film in a very short time. His guitar instructor was Nancy Wilson of the band Heart. Morgan was thrilled to take lessons from her, because, in his own words, “I had such a crush on her as a kid.”

 

Quote: “I know, that wherever I am, I’m missing you. Happy birthday! I love you!”- Gerry Kennedy

 

Summary: After her husband’s death, a widow starts receiving letters from him, telling her to start a new life.

 

The Review: Another not too good romantic film which Swanks and Butler’s characters are okay but it has a klutzy script and it totally lacks emotions.
