Nice effects though.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I loved it twice i have watched it now. Its funny too and well paced, good story made me giggle in lots of places. Sad too but it all came right in the end.I loved the chemistry between them both. I wont say much as people can read it for themselves, but if you want to know whether its worth watching yes it is, really, you wont be disappointed. Go on you know want too. A little bit of heaven to while away an afternoon or when you are having a duvet day.
'Legally Blonde' proved that Reese Witherspoon could do comedies well, and this is one of a long line of romantic comedies she made off the back of that films success.This isn't actually that great of a film. Sappy and sentimental, it boasts some good jokes, and good performances, ironically from the supporting cast.I don't buy Mark Ruffallo as a romantic comedy lead, I'm sorry but I don't. I much prefer him playing characters like the one he played in 'Now you see me'.An easy going but flawed comedy.
Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Heder, Dina Waters and Donal Logue star in this 2005 romantic comedy. This takes place in San Francisco where we meet young woman, Elizabeth (Witherspoon), a doctor who gets in a car accident. We also meet, David (Ruffalo) a landscape architect and widower who rents her apartment while she's in a coma. David gets visited by Elizabeth's spirit and he's the only one that can see her. Since she can't remember anything, He helps her regain her life and they fall for each other in the process discovering that fate has brought them together. Heder (Blades of Glory) plays spiritual psychic, Darryl, Waters plays Elizabeth's sister, Abby and Logue (Gotham) plays her friend, Jack. This is a good film and Witherspoon & Ruffalo have good chemistry. I recommend this.
This movie will surely touch your heart and put a smile on your face. The two main characters played by Witherspoon and Ruffalo keep the film moving along well, and keep the viewers watching. The theme of "seeing ghosts" isn't treated as silly; it's an engaging part of the movie. Watching the relationship develop between the two is done very well, and leads to a great ending. Not completely predictable, the movie, besides being a romance, addresses the meaning of life, and the question of how much dedication a career is worth. Ruffalo's character is very endearing, and really shines in the film, as he is battles his own ghosts. Really a tremendous film that you could watch at least once a year and still enjoy. Reminded me of another favorite with a similar "ghost" element "Heart and Souls". Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite fame as a great element also as a laid back expert on the occult.
