Just Like Heaven

I think I've discovered my new guilty pleasure. A very positive comedy that is not as ghostly as a romantic one with the then still unknown talent Mark Ruffalo and the beautiful eyes of Reese Witherspoon in the main roles. In the right mood, you can forgive a few logical lapses and just enjoy the surprisingly successful targeted heavenly shot. (04/07/2006)

When I saw this film on TV some time ago, it was quite funny. I enjoyed an hour and a half of undemanding entertainment, which may not be as inventive as it initially seems. Thanks to the acting performances, it's quite bearable, and there's also a decent blend of humor and romance. Yes, towards the end it gets quite sentimental, but along the way, you'll find yourself laughing here and there. I appreciate that. (02/28/2014)

I watched the movie again after more than a decade and it's still such a cute one-off, nothing deep, just two strangers getting closer. It was fun, almost without the usual excessively sweet pathos, plus the central couple are likeable. My partner even watched it with me without grumbling too much or making his usual stupid comments. A nice easy viewing for a couple’s evening. (08/22/2021)

An American romantic comedy that I can see maybe a hundred times a year. Predictable plot, slightly stale scenes spiced up with something a bit new, and good actors. When I have weaker moments I cry a little, other times I laugh. At the very least, this film has filled me with hope that miracles can happen. 4.5 stars. (10/19/2010)

It is a ghostly romantic comedy that is unfortunately terribly predictable, but fortunately offers quite a lot of humor and funny situations. At least I had a great time most of the time. I also liked the casting of Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo in the lead roles. The chemistry between them was awesome. (70%) (08/14/2022)
