Shortly after David Abbott moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Martinson, 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.

I loved it twice i have watched it now. Its funny too and well paced, good story made me giggle in lots of places. Sad too but it all came right in the end.I loved the chemistry between them both. I wont say much as people can read it for themselves, but if you want to know whether its worth watching yes it is, really, you wont be disappointed. Go on you know want too. A little bit of heaven to while away an afternoon or when you are having a duvet day.

Notting Hill started right after. It must be rom-com late night tonight. My first thought is I think I liked this a touch better than Notting Hill actually. Maybe it's the whole British thang.. ? .. Bah I love Brit/pop, love special bitter ales, AND a lot of British films... Then what is it? I dunno, maybe I find Ruffalo and Witherspoon more charming? Nah, I don't think that's it. I think it's the chemistry, but now that I think about it some more I do prefer Ruffalo to Grant's ever-loathsome character(plays that guy a bit too much actually). While both films are predictable(whole genre) - I think Just like Heaven comes together a bit better down the stretch. So Witherspoon and Ruffalo work great together here, and the race against time plot also adds quite a bit to the second half. The supporting roles are written and acted with care, and obviously this is a rom-com with enough charm to over-ride the sap for the fellas. I can definitely recommend this and may even need to revisit 2005's top-25 list to see if this creeps in the bottom. It may, and considering I see about 80+ films a year, that's quite the accomplishment.. I can count those that have this millennium on one hand.. This years"Aloha", last years "Enough Said".. Maybe as good as it gets.. Maybe devil wears Prada... "Silver linings and seeking a Friend from '12, Barneys Version Midnight in Paris from the couple years before that... Either way I only see 1-2 make my top 25 most any given year, so that would probably make this top two for the genre in '05.. Let me go look.. Yea, I wouldn't call Wedding Crashers a rom-com even though it's close so that would make this clearly the best rom com for '05 and I'm putting it at #25, as believe it or not, it knocks "revenge of the sith" off the list(the only of the 2nd trilogy to now have 'made a list' for any time. 69/100

Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Heder, Dina Waters and Donal Logue star in this 2005 romantic comedy. This takes place in San Francisco where we meet young woman, Elizabeth (Witherspoon), a doctor who gets in a car accident. We also meet, David (Ruffalo) a landscape architect and widower who rents her apartment while she's in a coma. David gets visited by Elizabeth's spirit and he's the only one that can see her. Since she can't remember anything, He helps her regain her life and they fall for each other in the process discovering that fate has brought them together. Heder (Blades of Glory) plays spiritual psychic, Darryl, Waters plays Elizabeth's sister, Abby and Logue (Gotham) plays her friend, Jack. This is a good film and Witherspoon & Ruffalo have good chemistry. I recommend this.

About 5 years ago there was this radio show in at one of my local radios,with the same story, But I lost that radio show and never found it again and I've been looking for it EVERYWHERE!! Because the story (of that radio play) was amazing, there was this guy who moved into an apartment but then saw a girl there, figures she was a doc who's in coma now, they fell in love, the man finds her in a hospital and I don't remember the rest.. I think she woke up?! When I was at minute 12 of the movie, I thought I finally found the thing I was looking for, because that radio show was actually based on this movie,so I got the original thing!When the movie ended, I was totally happy, freaking loved it! maybe coz it had details from all of the romantic stories I love, maybe coz it had a great original idea itself! anyways, it was fantastic and if I wasn't sitting at my university's library, I would have cried at one point!GREAT MOVIE, I THINK EVERYONE WILL LOVE IT!
