Amazon.co.uk 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

Just like heaven!!!! 14 May 2006
Format:DVD
Its all there in the title, what a superb film, i saw it at the pictures a couple of times and couldnt wait for its dvd release to watch it again in the comfort of my own where no one could see me laughing and crying at once...the scene where David saves a man withy elizabeths assistance had me in stitches for half an hour!

The cast were all amazing, but the two leads just stole the show, such great on screen chemistry and a great build up to the fabulous climax!! Truely a film for the ladies or that all important first date..!!..

100 percent worth watching, just dont forget the tissues!!

Heavenly rom com 26 Sep 2006
By norma
Format:DVD
Lovely feel good movie. Reese Witherspoon is very good as the overworked medic who hasn't got a 'life'. Mark Ruffalo has a comic talent that is great to watch. The movie shows why you shouldn't be driving when using a mobile and are distracted. The plot whisks you along and attention doesn't dip, it justs tells a good story of fate and falling in love.

The other characters are very good and add to the story and don't distract, the psychic bookshop assistant is especially good. Recommend it as a highly watchable, light movie.

Charming romance 8 Feb 2006
Format:DVD
I saw this film at the cinema on its release date in the UK and I was glad that I went.

The plot is simple:

Witherspoon plays a Elizabeth Masterson, a doctor who's a workaholic. On her way home one day she is involved in an accident.

David (Ruffalo) rents an apartment. One evening Elizabeth appears and starts telling him to get out of her apartment. At first he thinks he's imagining things but then realises she's a ghost -- the question is will she accept that?

The film starts off funny but, as it progresses, it gets sweeter. He spends his time trying to straighten out the mess they're both in whilst trying to convince the people around him that he's not going crazy (he's the only one who can see her).

I love supernatural romance and this is one of the better films in that genre. The characters are believable and the development of both plot and characters is well handled. There are one or two silly scenes in the name of comedy but they are, fortunately, not many.

Feel-good film
A really nice, feel-good film which is great to add to your collection. It came well packaged and quickly. I would definitely recommend this for the price it is being sold for.

A good addition to my rom com collection
Although I'm a big Rom Com fan, I found this a little light-weight, but pleasant enough.
