When the dearly departed begin requesting favors from Dr. Pincus, the self-absorbed dentist finds that living with ghosts isn't easy. Fortunately, recently deceased businessman Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) agrees to keep the dead at bay if Dr. Pincus will just agree to prevent his widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni), from tying the knot to humorless human rights lawyer Richard (Billy Campbell). According to Frank, Richard is just another morally corrupt gold-digger out to take the wealthy Gwen for all she's worth. At first Dr. Pincus agrees to go along with the ruse, though it isn't long before he begins to question his supernatural sidekick's true motivations. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I honestly did not remember seeing ads for this movie. It was much better than I expected. The acting was moving, and the story line was equally moving. This is a definite rental. I've told my friends about it.

Sweet lesson to be learned here. My friends and I really enjoyed this and look at life so differently now. Sweet story!

I love this movie. Ever since I first saw Ricky Gervis in Night at the Museum, I fell in love with his sarcastic wit. Tea Leone is well matched as his love interest. The movie is at once funny, yet touching.
