I thoroughly enjoyed this little semi-romantic comedy with Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear. I say semi because it doesn't truly feature romance in the true sense of the word, instead we get to see Gervais' Norman Pinkus rediscover life as he is able to communicate with ghosts after his 'death' on an operating table. A little meatier than most movies of this ilk, it is nonetheless tender and lighthearted at its core.

I totally agree, Scott. This is a very enjoyable little movie.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Agreed. I hadn't even heard of this movie, but got it from Pay Per View about a week ago because I loooove Ricky Gervais. It was sweet, and parts of it were laugh out loud hilarious.

How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.

Couldn't wait for this to reach the shelves. The last third of the movie was classic. Without giving away too much for new viewers: Follow the story of the talkative patient in the dentist chair early on in the movie. It's easy to miss because you're so busy laughing. But you'll be in tears when you find out why she's so talkative. A dvd keeper indeed.
