“Just Like Heaven” Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “Just Like Heaven”, which starred: Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, Donal Logue, Dina Waters and Ben Shenkman.

The storyline involved the following: “When David sublet his quaint San Francisco apartment, the last thing he expected was a roommate. He had only begun to make a complete mess of the place when a pretty young woman named Elizabeth suddenly shows up, adamantly insisting the apartment is hers. David assumes there's been a giant misunderstanding...until Elizabeth disappears as mysteriously as she appeared. Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who begins to appear and disappear at will. Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while Elizabeth has discovered she can walk through walls, she is convinced that she is still alive and isn't crossing over anywhere. As Elizabeth and David search for the truth about who Elizabeth is and how she came to be in her present state, their relationship deepens into love. Unfortunately, they have very little time before their prospects for a future together permanently fade away.”

I give this movie a “C+”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a small popcorn and a small soft drink. Reese Witherspoon was great, but the comedy script was poor. There was too much slapstick comedy.
