Ghost Town
A good laugh - jennith
These film stars Ricky Gervais in his first lead role in a film and it so much better than one night at the museum which is where I last saw him. The film is about Pinkus played by Gervais who is a dentist and not a nice person he does not like his patients or his co-workers we see him early in the film sneak out of work rather than look at his co-worker new baby pictures. He then goes to the hospital to have a procedure and he dies for seven minutes he then is able to see dead people and talk to them and they need him to do things for him as they have unfinished business and can not go back to heaven until its done.Pinkus is freaked out but even when he realises what is going on he refuses to help, one ghost (kinnear)wants him to help him split up his wife's new relationship this gets complicated when Kinnear finds himself falling in love with her but he messes it up because he is such a cold horrible person. He them after speaking to his co-worker realises the error of his ways and try's to make up for all that he has done, will it be enough we have to wait and see. This film is good the story is told well and there are some good laughs and emotional moments to keep everyone happy definitely worth watching.

Finally Gervais does it. . . - LydsLizzie
For too long have I waited for Ricky Gervais to really lead a movie and eventually I got my wish. Fairly enough, I was slightly uneasy about the plot line that seemed a little too unoriginal but once... MORE

Quality film-making with a surprisingly subtle central performance - Ernie
All the reviews led me to believe that this would be an above average romcom but how wrong they were. This is a gem of a film that readily invites comparisons with classics with a hard comedy centre... MORE

Very Clever - Wayne
This is one of Ricky's better works as a funny-man. Being an anti-social dentist seems to suit him so well, and he reacts brilliant to all situations he's faced with in the movie. Full of clever... MORE
