Vik D @vikdamone 5d Ghost Town is what happens when a grumpy dentist gets the world’s most annoying afterlife assignment. It’s funny, charming, and somehow makes a guy who hates people become the one person ghosts actually need. Ricky Gervais brings the perfect mix of sarcasm and awkward panic, while the story sneaks in a surprising amount of heart. A sweet little comedy about second chances, unfinished business, and why ignoring ghosts is apparently bad for your social life.

I am averse to overly praise it either. This is not to say it is unworthy of praise, it’s me saying it’s a 6/10. A few scenes struck me as weak: when Frank convinces the ghosts to leave Dr Pincus alone; Gwen giving Dr Pincus two significant chances with insignificant cause; Dr Pincus helping ghosts move on is too short; Dr Pincus hit by the bus, specifically hit by the bus (the MTA driver should have seen him, unlike the bus which hit Frank, where there was no time) and that CPR cures severe crush/crash damage; and, Dr Pincus wants to cash-out and asks his co-worker for a script yet later says his dental gas can be fatal… Believe it or not, I enjoyed this film. I got shivers and teared up at one point. However, an emotional response is not a whole rating. Excuse the nitpicking, romcoms still need cohesion. Rewatch? Possibly. Recommend? Definitely.

Good performance from Gervais, leaving a film thats aged nicely See more In Obsidian O @TheTvMartian Nov 14 Not going to lie, thought the movie would suck. Was surprised it did not. In a time when stale is standard, even this movie with a far-fetched idea and dated moments holds up. See more Read all reviews
