Just Like Heaven [DVD]

The film has been very well researched and follows an extremely plausible story line. I had to watch it several times to pick up all the subtle points and cross-references to earlier dialogue. The film is engaging, warm and occasionally quite funny in a soft sophisticated kind of way. The characters are very likeable. Although following a particular scenario, the film is apparently founded on a deep knowledge/conviction that there is no death in that one is not a body but an eternal intelligence/consciousness/soul inhabiting a body. The film's message may be extrapolated to all manner of life-critical circumstances and has the potential to illuminate a deep inner knowing within the watcher. Leaves a positive after-glow for a very long time.

So let's face it, nearly every film is just amazing for some people and just awful for others, and this is probably no exception. If you want to snuggle up on the sofa and lose yourself in something that makes you laugh, cry, smile and keep believing in romance and a fairy tale happy ending, then this is definitely for you, My other half was completely wrapped up in the story and he is a 6ft 4in gory horror movie loving boy who is obviously a real softie at heart - apparently this has leap frogged in to his top 10 favourites now! OK so I'll own up and say that we are both big Reese Witherspoon fans, so I guess that has made us a bit biased. It's a close run thing between this and Sweet Home Alabama as they are both so great, and I'd be hard pushed to say which one I liked the best. Just Like Heaven also has a really top soundtrack - especially Colors by Amos Lee. Treat yourself - you won't be disappointed.

This film has always meant something special to me as back in 2007 when I watched this film on the sky system I lost my wife in a similar way to one of the principle characters. The subject has been handled with delicacy and feeling and a good deal of thought, it's only now that I can watch this film and enjoy it, is one of the best romantic comedies that I have ever seen.

I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying it all turns out ok in the end. If you have a problem with alcohol (only beer mind!) then the answer is to allow the "spirit" of the former renter of your flat, to take over your life. It's only beauty allowed and no dogs or turkeys. A couple meet in the nether regions of Hollywood/New York and drift along, like ghosts do, while acting surprised, along with the living, that they can still communicate. It's an extremely gentle hour and a half, to send you to a pleasant night's sleep.

I watched this the other night in utter bliss. There's absolutely nothing in it to make you have to think or feel bad about anything. It's just pure romance and laughter as a rom com should be.It tells the story of Elizabeth, a doctor in a very busy hospital, who while on her way home one night is involved in a car crash. The next thing we know is that the loveable David has moved into her apartment and she is walking through tables and is unable to pick things up! David is convinced that he's either hallucinating or that she's a ghost!Enter Jon Heder as a spiritual reader of sorts for a few extra laughs. This is quite simply lovely, sweet and very predictable, but who cares when it leaves you feeling this happy? I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be watching it again and again. I'd recommend this movie if you like rom coms in general but especially if you liked films like Bridgette Jones or Love Actually.

This film is like a marshmallow, it relly doesn't do anything but remain fluffy all the way through, you cannot take to the characters nor the storyline as it's weaker than a breadstick in the thames.

Seeing positive reviews, we bought this and were not disappointed. An imaginative and in some ways quite serious romantic comedy, which has some very funny moments, and nice twists in the plot.

Watch it for what it is. A very enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes. Okay, so you'll know the story if you've read the blurb, but . . . it's how they take you there. Lots of little clues throughout tell you everything you need to know, but you'll never see it coming until it's explained at the end. A great feel-good film. Very clever.
