Ghost Town (2008) movie review

New Yorkers -- They're Just the Same After Death

space

New York is lousy with ghosts...And they're a noisy, pushy, demanding bunch, same as when they were alive.

Bertram Pincus D.D.S. (Ricky Gervais) is having a bad day. First of all the misanthropic Pinkass has to listen to inane chatter on his way to his colonoscopy; and now he's seeing dead people. He doesn't like people when they're alive, when the dead start following him around he is desperate to find a way back to his quiet life.

Pincus is about to find love and redemption as he helps a ghost a(Greg Kinnear) derail a widow's (Tea Leoni) upcoming nuptials.

He sees dead people... and they annoy him.

That little grinch heart of yours actually started beating and now you want to take it back into your cave and crush it with a rock.

Not your average love story.
