The premise of this flick is a good one---interesting idea of a past and dead lover haunting his ex into a more righteous life---less sleeze--BUT, the character of Mark was so irritating to me that any message the movie had was lost because of this self-absorbed, queeny, egotistical role. Just wanted him to go away---

One cliche after another. The ghost business turned me off. Silly, unoriginal, ineffective.

I did not like this movie. The idea was possibly good but the acting was awful and irritating. I felt this made the movie drag out instead of being the least bit intertaining.
