Editorial Review:

Bad romantic comedies make you scoff at their absurdity; good ones make you wish your life was that absurd. Just Like Heaven is just smart and likable enough to trigger that wishing. David (Mark Ruffalo, Collateral, You Can Count On Me) finds an amazing apartment in San Francisco--only to discover it's haunted by the spirit of the previous tenant, an overachieving doctor named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde, Election).

There's something not quite right about Elizabeth's afterlife; against his better judgement, David agrees to help her investigate her life...but finds himself digging into his own as well. The plot takes a twist that some viewers will see coming, but Just Like Heaven doesn't rely on the surprise alone; the revelation takes the story in a new and just as entertaining direction. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are two of the best romantic leads around, but the surprise is how well their contrasting flavors (perky and moody, respectively) mesh, creating a sparky, engaging chemistry. Also featuring Dina Waters (Freaky Friday), Donal Logue (The Tao of Steve), Ben Shenkman (Angels in America), and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). Crisply directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), who carefully keeps the supernatural from getting silly and the romance from getting gooey. --Bret Fetzer

• watching it is just like heaven
  What can I say? I had doubts on this film but the chemistry between the two of them works superbly, the acting is 10/10 and its such a beautiful story. An ultimate love story classic

• feel-good movie with gorgeous Mark Ruffalo
  Ok this is never going win Oscars or other film awards, but it's a warm, funny, feel-good comedy that's well worth watching. Reese W is her usual charming yet intelligent herself and Mark R is just gorgeous, and the chemistry between them works. With fabulous bit-parts from the hippy seer with the 'gift' and Stanford from Sex & the City, this is a perfect girls-night-in after a hard day at work. Just pick up the wine and chocolate with the video and enjoy!

• A beautiful story
  My first impression on this movie was exactly as said above!
  It indulges you into a wonderful story about a man and a woman, her whom goes into a coma in hospital after a severe head injury off the road. Later on he begins to see her spirit vertually everywhere he goes but only he can see it. As he's determined to show everyone she is still there comes the time when her natural body awakens, back to normal again.
  I could watch this over and over again because it's simply beautiful.

• Nice and Comfortable
  I watched this film on my Amazon delivered dvd on Saturday evening. I found it a nice film to mellow out with. The characters are good, as is the acting by the lead actors.
  An amusing, sad and witty film. Well worth the £3.97. Keep it in your collection and watch it on a rainy afternoon, or a quiet evening in by yourself, or with your better half.
