Just Like Heaven (DVD, 2006, Full Frame)

What a wonderful movie. After a summer full of dull blockbuster, shoot 'em up, aliens attacking, superhero flicks, I was sooooo ready for the fall fare, and Just Like Heaven is the perfect way to start. Reese Witherspoon is, well, heavenly and altogether lovely, but Mark Ruffalo truly impressed me. And, for the Napoleon Dynamite fans, Jon Heder makes an appearance as an occult bookstore attendent. This character is probably what Napoleon would be doing 10 years down the road. Napoleon aside (please don't see this movie just for him!), this is a very sweet, fun, and surprising romantic comedy.

Reese is Elizabeth, a dedicated doctor who scarcely makes time for herself. About fifteen minutes into the film, she's in a terrible car accident... flash forward three months later. David (Ruffalo) is looking for a furnished apartment to sublet. He just can't seem to find one with a comfortable enough couch, until that is, a piece of paper keeps flying at him in the street, advertising a fully furnished apartment. The couch is perfect, so he quickly moves in and begins his nightly drink-fest. But soon after he begins seeing the spirit of Elizabeth, who tells him that the apartment is hers. Together, they discover what truly has become of Elizabeth (I'm not telling!) and how to get things back to normal.

There are lots of surprising twists in this movie, and I had already read the book. The premise is the same, but this movie reveals a lot of missed opportunities on the author's (Marc Levy's) part. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are wonderful together, a perfect romantic comedy match. Ruffalo actually almost had me crying when he finally reveals the root of his depression to Elizabeth. What a fun movie! Just suspend any disbelief you may have and just have fun! That's what this movie is for! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This is a great movie. One of those feelgood movies at the end. This one you will want to add to your DVD library. I have enjoyed watching several times. I love Chick flicks since I am a a chick but this movie my husband likes too. So, I do not get ughs when I suggest it. You will laugh and cry in this romatic comedy. Rated PG 13 for some sexual content. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo are great. I would let my children 13 and above see it and feel fine with it.

I love this movie. It's a "feel good" romantic comedy. Reese Witherspoon is excellent, and Mark Ruffalo does a great job also. My favorite part of the movie is when Mark's character is trying to help Reese's character, and they are in a restaurant. No one can see Reese, and she is telling Mark what to say/do. It becomes quite humorous.

This movie is great. It funny, romantic, and surprising. Reese play Elizabeth, a doctor who is too interested in her career. Mark plays David a guy who is lonely after loosing his wife. Reese is in a car wreck and her spirit is living in her apartment. David moves into her apartment and is the only one who can see her. Thats all I want to say, because I don't want to ruen the movie. It is very good just like all Reese's movies. You won't regret this movie.

Very sweet, romantic movie that spans time. Reese Witherspoon is just adorable and well matched with Mark Ruffalo in this fun, heartwarming movie.
