Hilary Swank plus Oscar season has typically equaled gut-wrenching drama, but the actress heads off into new territory this year by undertaking a poignant comedy. Not that you should leave your hankie at home. ''This is definitely one of those movies where you laugh through your tears,'' says the actress, who stars as a young widow who gets over her grief with the help of motivational letters left behind by her dead husband (300's Gerard Butler). It's You've Got Mail...from the beyond.
