**SPOILERS** Very similar to the back from the dead, through reincarnation, movie released around the same time "Birth" the made for TV movie "P.S" has to do with someone who died some twenty years ago coming back to re-start his love affair with not just one but two lovers. The strange thing about all this is that the long "dead person" now in his early twenties and a student at New York's Colombia University is, unlike in the movie "Birth", the very last person in the movie to figure this all out!
It's chief of student admissions at Columbia Louise Harrington, Laura Linney, who first notices the what seems like re-born F. Scott Feinstadt, Topher Grace, when he called her for an interview to be accepted in the collage's prestigious art program. With her eyes bulging out of their sockets Louise realizes that Scott is the carbon-copy of her long dead lover from high-school who shares the very same name, first & last, with him. Poor and totally confused Scott who's only looking to get accepted in the collage's art class ends up being seduced and ravaged, which in fact he's anything but against, by the sex starved Louise within hours after his interview with her!
To make things even more interesting we also have Louise's ex-husband Peter, Gabriel Byrne, pop up and after thinking things over with her suddenly admits that he's been having an affair behind her back! This with Peter being divorced from Louise and thus being free do do, in regards with his sex life, anything he want's! The real kicker to Peter's heart felt confession to Louise is that he's hopelessly addicted to sex and had been having hundreds of affairs while he was still married to her with, in him being a collage professor, his both female as well as male student's! Shocked at Peter's infidelity Louise is left speechless and thus gravities back to Scott, who hasn't a clue to what's going on, to continue her hot and heavy affair with him.
Things reach explosive levels in the movie when Louise's friend from high-school and rival for the late Scott's affections Missy Goldberg, Marcia Gay Barden, gets in touch with her and tells a stunned Louise that she in fact knows that Scott as come back from the dead and has also, like Louise, restarted her affair with him! On top of all that sex addicted Peter also finds out that Louise, who's not married to him, is having an affair with another man-Scott-which almost leads the two to square off at each other!
***SPOILERS*** The ending of this very confusing movie leaves a lot of loose ends in regards to Scott's relationship with both Lousie and Missy but by then you've been through so many sub-plots to what it's, the Scott Louise & Missy connection, all about that both you and Scott are by then ready to forget about the whole damn thing!
About the best thing that happens in the movie is in the end is that Scott is finally accepted into Colombia University's exclusive art school, which is all that he wanted in the first place, on the strength of what looked like six grainy and out of focus slides of his art works. But as we see Scott wouldn't have made it without Louise, who's still hopefully infatuated with the young man, pulling a few strings in his favor.
