How Did King Leonidas Become So Adorable?

I've read this book entitled "P.S. I love you" few years back, and lately, when I found that there was a movie based on the novel, I didn’t think twice of getting a copy.

The movie starred 300's King Leonidas, Gerard Butler and Million Dollar Baby's Hilary Swank. Until then, I never thought Gerard Butler would be that endearing. In my opinion, he really fitted into the role and effectively established a better visual of the story than in the book. In the movie, you can perfectly understand how Swank's character has been corrupted with sex and charm in their early days; Butler was totally a sweetheart!

The first time I watched it, I was alone; I didn’t mind having my face flooded with tears, how can they be so in love? Well, I've been in love, yet, to know exactly what the other was thinking or how he/she would respond to a certain circumstance?? Oh, come on! Wasn't it too good to be true? Still, I'll grow old hoping for that.

It took me a couple of days before I finally got over the movie—I watched it thrice, which facilitated me (and Karen) in decoding the movie's mind-boggling game, SNAPS!

Did you know that Butler was "The Phantom" in the movie "Phantom of the Opera"? No wonder he performed well as "the cute, carefree Irish guy who SINGS all the time" in "P.S. I love you".
