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

Synopsis
Suspension of disbelief is a necessity albeit a pleasurable one regarding many aspects of this romantic comedy, not the least of which being that either of its good-looking leads would ever lead lonely existences. Reese Witherspoon plays ambitious medical intern Elizabeth, who regularly clocks in 20 hour days at the hospital. Her work is her life, much to the chagrin of her sister Abby, who is married, with kids, and constantly attempting to get Elizabeth to go out more. When Abby finally succeeds in setting up a blind date for her sister, Elizabeth has an accident en route while driving to meet the mystery man, and the stage is set for love.
David (Mark Ruffalo) has been apathetically searching for a new apartment in the cutthroat San Francisco housing market, while attempting to overcome his wife¿s death two years ago. When he finally finds the perfect place, nothing is going to make him leave, and this includes the blonde control freak (Elizabeth) who suddenly shows up while he¿s busy vegetating. She claims the apartment is hers, and it becomes ever clearer that Elizabeth doesn¿t remember her past, and shows irrefutable signs of being a ghost. David signs on to help her solve her own mystery, and the two grow closer even as it becomes ever clearer that they¿ll never be able to be together. The chemistry between Witherspoon and Ruffalo breathes life into the well-trod terrain of the ghost love story, while NAPOLEON DYNAMITE¿S Jon Heder almost steals the show as a bookstore worker with the Gift. The slapstick humour resulting from David¿s conversations with his invisible companion is hilarious in one standout scene, David saves a man¿s life as Elizabeth talks him through the task. The ultimate message about the power of love and wisely-used time gives added resonance to the tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like heaven!!!!, 14 May 2006
By V. J. mccabe (Liverpool, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly rom com, 26 Sep 2006
By norma (Nuneaton, Warks, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly superb film, 24 Mar 2006
By M. Davies (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It wasn't my original intention to see this film one Friday night when me and my 17 year old friend decided to go to the cinema- as all other showings were booked. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This film genuinely has it all- good humour, great plot, surprising moments, good characters and some really touching scenes.

An under-rated hit film. The Ghostbusters homage is pure genius!

A sweet 'feel good' movie, but somewhat cheesy. Well acted. I'd recommend it to the girls for a 'night in'. Think the football would appeal more to the men!
