DVD Synopsis

Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear star in director David Koepp's fantasy comedy concerning Bertram Pincus, a dentist who gains the ability to communicate with the dead after momentarily dying during a routine medical procedure. When the dearly departed begin requesting favors from Dr. Pincus, the self-absorbed dentist finds that living with ghosts isn't easy. Fortunately, recently deceased businessman Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) agrees to keep the dead at bay if Dr. Pincus will just agree to prevent his widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni), from tying the knot to humorless human rights lawyer Richard (Billy Campbell). According to Frank, Richard is just another morally corrupt gold-digger out to take the wealthy Gwen for all she's worth. At first Dr. Pincus agrees to go along with the ruse, though it isn't long before he begins to question his supernatural sidekick's true motivations. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I really like Ricky Gervais and this movie was a wonderful vehicle for his comic talents.

We enjoyed this movie overall - Ricky Gervais is very funny, enjoyed him very much. Unfortunately they spend most of the movie showing what a jerk Gervais' character was (I guess that's to show off the actor's talents in that area) - and only a very brief section showing how he changes and becomes a nice guy. Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear were also very good. Funny - but not a 5 star funny.

Enjoyed this movie about love and making things right with the ones we leave behind. Done in a very clever but funny way...
