Charming old fashioned comedy reminiscent of Topper and the old screwball comedies. Nothing new here, rather a predictable plot arc. But Ricky Gervais is dependably funny as a wise-cracking curmudgeon- not as damaged as his role on the Office, but damaged enough to still entertain. With Gervais as the crux and Greg Kinnear as his ghostly companion (who maybe should have had less screen time)- it all goes down quite pleasantly. And like any good traditional romantic comedy, goes for some emotional punch as well as some laughs. This is quite a nice change from the summer comic book movies.
