Just Like Heaven

The latest entry in the romantic haunting mini-genre started by Ghost, Just Like Heaven, is a surprisingly sweet and effective little treat.

What the haunting means, and how the pair deals with it is a lot of fun, although whenever the focus expands to include other actors, particulary Mr. Napoleon Dynamite, the movie wavers somewhat.

In the end, this wasn’t as romantic or compelling as Truly, Madly, Deeply, a warts-and-all British entry in the genre, but Just Like Heaven will likely put smiles on a lot of faces. (Heck, the cover versions of the title song by the Cure made me smile all by themselves.)

Recommended for fans of Reese Witherspoon or Ghost.
