A very good movie

I noticed that this movie was starring Ricky Gervais who was getting very famous lately but, honestly, I have to admit that I haven't seen much of his work so far. Still, I must say that he was really awesome in this movie. In fact, the plot was really similar to 'Ghost' which had been a big success back then but I have never cared for this flick, to be honest. However, if 'Ghost' was in my opinion pretty cheesy, this movie was fortunately downright hilarious. The biggest improvement was that the two main characters, portrayed by Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear were basically two jerks stuck together, one of them living and one of them dead. I have to admit that the story was pretty straightforward and predictable but the dialogues were just so funny and the actors all managed to find the right tone. I seriously never expected that I would enjoy so much a movie dealing with a guy seeing and talking to some dead people since it is usually such a tedious gimmick. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was a very well written and really entertaining comedy, I really had a blast watching this, it is definitely underrated and absolutely worth a look, especially if you wonder, like me, what was all the fuss about Ricky Gervais.
