Shortly after David Abbott moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Masterson, who asserts that the apartment is hers -- and promptly vanishes. When she starts appearing and disappearing at will, David thinks she's a ghost, while Elizabeth is convinced she's alive.

Not sure if this will contain actual spoilers but giving the warning just in case*********may contain spoilers********Really enjoyed this movie. Very entertaining and lighthearted. Actually laughed til I couldn't breath at the "bar scene." I will say that if you have ever lost someone you loved in this manner parts are hard to watch towards the end of the movie which had me in tears having to leave someone like that myself who didn't miraculously recover. Glad that it didn't end badly though, that it was a "happily ever after story." We need more of those. So, 9 thumbs up!

Just like heaven is a very entertaining Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo comedy. I really enjoyed this movie I've always enjoyed the whole Ghost out of body spiritual kind of film. The chemistry between Mark and Reese is really what made this movie click. They had a great romantic chemistry and also had great witty dialogue to throw at each other. That's another thing the writing was very well done and entertaining. One thing that I didn't particularly enjoy was where the scene where the slut next-door disrobes. I think we could've done without her character, I mean I know it was for comedy but I just didn't think it worked. Mark Ruffalo really showcased his talent. Also the movie was very sweet and warm hearted, it was just one of those cute Saturday afternoon chick flicks that makes you feel good. So basically in a nut shell, if you're looking for an Academy Award, then this is not the one for you, but if you are looking for a sweet lighthearted funny and romantic entertaining movie then this is the one for you. The ending was very good too, I thought it was well done and cute. Now there were some moments that were just a little drab, but luckily they didn't go on too long, and the comedy didn't always work but most times it did. 7/10 for just like heaven.

Just Like Heaven is a dream of a romantic comedy.For one, it doesn't have the ever present "lie" which inevitably ruins everything in perpetuity throughout the universe, which is a ridiculous plot scam. You use that when you don't know how to write a script.Next, you have some very funny situations and dialogs. Those might be a bit easy, but they are well used. You also have a few tearful moment that are very sweet. Finally, to make it complete, the acting is pretty good.There are only two bad things I could say about it all. One, you get a perfect ending, but you can excuse it, because you're sort of praying for it, and the rest of the movie wasn't pushing it's luck. Second, the apartment is perfect, and that's always the case in every Hollywood movie.It's great romance with an unusual setting. It even has a few guy-perspective jokes. See it.

I watched this film during the holy week as it was aired on Philippine TV through ABC-TV5, and the opening scenes really impressed me pushing me to watch through the whole of the film.If you ask me about my taste of movies, I usually am bored when watching love stories because for me, it appears too generic. On the other hand, I love watching films with unique genre and storyline that is obviously created with intellect.This film is one of a kind. It is phenomenal - a usual love story redefined. I never imagined such kind of thinking but it was made possible, so congratulations to all the producers of this film. I really liked it, and I know many other people liked it too.Second thing is I really loved when the director put some twists on the part before the ending. It really is heart touching and feelings could not be denied. And of course, the ending was comfortable to watch. Very good!I have no negative point to raise but I'd just give it a score of 8 because I have to fair with those movies that got heavy production.
