Delightfully sweet like a lollipop, Just Like Heaven is a dreamy romantic comedy that may give you a toothache when it attempts to broach difficult end of life issues by throwing a cherry on top.

It's corny, it's somewhat predictable, but it's also very sweet, it's funny. Sep 19, 2005

Just Like Heaven is really nothing more than your standard love-from-beyond-the-grave squishfest (even though the heroine isn't actually dead) done up in the dumb bonnet-and-bloomers get-up of contemporary romantic comedy. Sep 16, 2005

Director Mark Waters knows how to turn the gimmicky unknown into psychologically comic adventure, just as he did in 2003's Freaky Friday. Sep 16, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4

Just Like Heaven is a typical romantic comedy that stumbles on the problems of being not particularly funny or interesting. It could have been truly heartwarming, but is so heavy handed here that the final result is merely sentimental pap. Mar 29, 2011 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Just Like Heaven" perpetuates the Frisco curse that not one great movie has been made in the hilly city since Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo in 1958. Jun 15, 2009 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Kudos to Witherspoon and Ruffalo for generating enough screen chemistry to insure a teary-eyed finale that'll make you forget the fact that you're watching a shameless rip-off. May 28, 2007 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

One of the best times I've had at the movies in a while. It's not perfect. It's not very deep. But it's a whole lot of fun and even a little moving. Sep 25, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/4

While the picture adheres to romantic-comedy formula, it's not entirely formulaic, and the actors, who appear to be having fun, give it a bright and undeniable appeal. Feb 7, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Um filminho simpático protagonizado por dois atores carismáticos. E, ainda assim, não é um bom sinal que eu esteja utilizando a palavra 'filminho' para descrevê-lo. Dec 22, 2005 | Rating: 2/5

It is fun watching a ghost who doesn't know they are a ghost. At one point, Reese was arguing that she was completely normal while her ghostly image is being split in half by the dining room table.

Witherspoons chin could probably kick my chins ass
Really cute film!
This was a funny and sweet movie. Although the story is a bit weird but it was entertaining as well. Especially the priest part.
