Following his instructions, Holly learns to celebrate life and the world around her, embracing every moment and opportunity along with her best friends and loved ones.

Buy a new outfit. Be a disco diva. Learn to fish. Take a chance. Travel. Laugh. Love. Sometimes all you need to start really living is a little shove in the right direction - and that's just what Holly Kennedy gets. From the handsome, big-hearted love of her life. From a series of mysterious letters. And from gal pals who know that a friend in need is a friend in need of some laughs! Based on Cecelia Ahern's joyful bestseller and boasting an all-star ensemble cast led by two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler (300), P.S. I Love You is your very own message full of fun, love, triumph and romance. Open it now. (P.S. You'll love it!)

Soon Speed learns of Royalton's plan to fix the races and gain profit in conjunction with other top corporate interests. And Royalton has another plan: Keep Speed from winning races. Luckily, Speed's parents and girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), give him the emotional support he needs, while his rival, Racer X, supports him through a newfound racing partnership. Now Speed must rescue the family business and the sport of racing by winning the ultimate challenge. Also starring Susan Sarandon and John Goodman.
