Pros: Betcha by golly wow, I actually cared what was gonna happen!
Cons: Sometimes it was a little silly, particularly in the script department.

When I was driving home, the clarity of the world swept in, uninvited as usual, but always welcomed after the fact. It was like everything just started to make sense. Anything that could possibly happen would be okay, but somehow, this whole world was ...

Pros: Pretty original story, some nice twists
Cons: Goes on too long after the climax, not funny enough

I thought Just Like Heaven was a decent movie, but it disappointed me because it was not really a romantic comedy. I went into the movie expecting to see a charming and funny ghost love story, but the humorous moments were few and far between. For ...

Pros: I stopped hating this film half an hour before it ended.
Cons: That's a whole hour of discomfort for thirty minutes of relief.

That's how I felt through much of this 95-minute adaptation of the Marc Levy bestseller from 2000, If Only It Were True. Writers Peter Tolan and Leslie Dixon deliver up a retread of so many other films, it feels like a cinematic chop shop. That's too ...

Cons: Could have cut 15 minutes.

Pros: Good cast, good production values, cute story
Cons: Definitely use suspension of disbelief, some stock characters

Just Like Heaven is kind of like the cherry that gets put on top of an ice cream sundae. It's a very sweet comedy that won't disappoint the audience in the end, only it's with an unusual premise: the supernatural. Now as for the supernatural element, the ...
