Ghost Town
was a pleasant, touching surprise comedy with a big heart.
You may say you've seen this type of picture
many times before, but I liked about everything, and the idea
worked on all levels for me.
The acting was good, and it had just the
right amount of comedy, which did not get too silly and stupid
, with some touching moments that made for a feel-good movie.
Even if you don't believe in ghosts, or
you do, you should enjoy this film. |
As romantic/comedy ghost stories go, this
is a pretty good one -- thanks to Ricky Gervais' sardonic wit.
Yes! He sees dead people with unresolved
problems, and that is the problem.
He'd like to move on with his rather pathetic
and lonely life, but the ghosts won't let him.
As a matter of fact, they follow him everywhere.
It's a quirky comedy for those of you in
a slightly twisted romantic mood. |
This romantic comedy, called Ghost Town,
involves a distrusting, self-centered New York dentist who develops
an ability to see dead people, after briefly flat lining during
a routine colonoscopy.
He then wakes up with the annoying ability
to see ghosts.
The dead are solid looking, of the type
that populated the classic Cary Grant movie Topper.
Each spirit has unfinished business with
the living for which they want the star dentist to act as a go-between
or harmonizing agent.
This film has some dead spots, but I enjoyed
it.
There is comedy, romance, and a satisfying
ending that might be called a bit of a tear-jerker in the end. |
