For a film that should have been hilarious given the premise, somehow Ricky Gervais fucks up half of it. I don't know why so many people like this guy. Still, premise stays strong enough to keep the movie from being a total failure, despite falling to just about every Hollywood cliche in the book.

The only thing that this movie has going for it is Gervais. But even he at times struggles to elevate such utter tripe even with his superb dry-humor acting.

A film with Gervais and Kinnear cannot be all bad.

A pretty hilarious and heartwarming comedy.

Your basic romcom with Gervais making it a bit better.

This movie is driven solely by the humour and comedy of Ricky Gervais and it really shines through. There's really nothing much to this, it's an extremely run-of-the-mill feel-good hollywood comedy with nothing much to offer. However Gervais does provide some really good comedy spots which had me laughing a couple of times, but that may just be because I'm a big Ricky Gervais fan. I wouldn't really recommend it, but if you are a Gervais fan you should watch. Better than "The Invention of Lying".

Even though this film was not particularly stellar, there's something about Gervais that made me become his fan just by watching this.

A clichéd comedy elevated by Ricky Gervais, who can certainly make even the most wornout crap watchable. The man is pure genius, and though this isn't The Office or Extras, Ghost Town still manages to generate a few good laughs. Greg Kinnear is a waste of space, though.

Good. A dentist starts seeing ghosts after a near death experience. This could've been a bottom of the barrel "I can see dead people" flick saved only by Ricky Gervais's comedic talents. Worth a rental.

It's good. Formulaic, but good.

Very very watchable, nothing exceptional.

it carries a good message is that you should be good to others.

Very charming comedy (with surprisingly dramatic undertones) follows a path already well-trodden by A CHRISTMAS CAROL (and even GROUNDHOG DAY to an extent) but Gervais' unique, vitriolic comic persona (albeit toned down), and a stellar supporting cast, makes it a path worth treading again. Quite unexpectedly moving by the final reels.

funny at times, ricky gervais is great and tea leoni ... omfg :O

Disappointing hollywood debut for Gervais with his improv sitting uneasily with the director's script and the american cast. Leoni looks bewildered and Kinnear does his best but it just doesn't gel.

The first couple of acts are sharper than you would expect (the "fuck off you annoying ghosts" angle seems to be fairly natural to the script, and not just shoe-horned in so the fat guy wouldn't seem out of place in the lead), and Gervais and Leoni are decent (Leoni is really likeable and natural for a while, until her character becomes the standard romcom damsel in distress). I knew it would suck at the end, and was expecting to forgive its sins, but it really does get pretty fucking cheesy.

Ghost Town is of course trivial entertainment but Gervais was perfect as a misanthropist and most of the chosen songs were very nice. 22/06/09
