A truly beautiful movie… the tagline “he sees dead people… and they annoy him” says a lot about the movie. The movie is about a dentist named Bertram Pincus played by Ricky Gervais, Pincus dies for seven minutes during a routine medical procedure and comes back to life… but he has a small side effect, yeah that’s right… he can see dead people. Since Pincus is the only one who can see the dead… the dead wants him to do their unfinished business…unfortunately for them Pincus is not a people person. After a while Frank (Greg Kinnear) comes along and changes his mind to help him break up his wife Gwen (Téa Leoni) and her new boyfriend. Things get a little complicated after a while…. Well, you have to see for yourself. The movie is really good, the first half is funny and makes you smile… keeps you interested in the movie and the second half really touches you. The second half shows how Pincus a selfish man who hates other people changes his selfish ways and becomes a better person. It’s a bit sentimental and clichéd, but it’s nice… brings that warm feeling in your heart.
A nice ‘feel good’ movie to watch with the family…
