Ghost Town (2008)

[Movie 216 / Day 230]


Bertram Pincus is an obnoxious dentist who goes into hospital for an operation and spends 7 minutes dead on the operating table. When he wakes up, he discovers that he can now see dead people wandering around the city - and they all have a problem they need fixing in the land of the living before they can continue their journey into the afterlife. Once they discover he can see and hear them, it's not long before they're continually pestering him for his help.

It's a romantic comedy and it's far better than I was expecting it to be. Ricky Gervais plays his usual character, but it works well enough. Téa Leoni looks absolutely fantastic - so much so that it jars a bit whenever she's on screen with Gervais. Still, she's hot and he's funny, so it's all good.

My rating: 6.9 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.1 / 10
Running time: 102 mins
