Synopsis
"Ghost town" is a romantic comedy where Bertram Pincus, a misanthropic dentist (Ricky Gervais) who is not a people person, gets caught up in a supernatural love triangle. Pincus lives a fine line between life and death but however lucky he may be, it is just about to run out after he gains the unpleasant ability to see ghosts. Even worse is that every ghost he sees wants something from him, and they won‘t stop haggling him for it, at anytime day or night. Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) is a ghost who befriends Pincus and seems hellbent on ruining his attempts to have a serious relationship with any women. His other ghostly friend (Alan Ruck), is competing with Frank for Pincus‘ attention. Pincus couldn‘t stand life with the living, now how is he going to cope with the dead?
Comments
I am really pleased that I went to see this film as I found myself laughing all the way through it. This film has everything... humour, tragedy, jumps, and is also set to be a classic weepy! I loved everything about it!!! Ricky Gervais has really come into his own and I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't the leading star in many Hollywood comedies from now on. If you feel and little bit low and fancy a Sunday afternoon of lighthearted humour that also guarantees a feel good factor then this is your film.... 'Ghost' for a new generation.
