Elizabeth Masterson, a dedicated Doctor in San Francisco, had almost no time for anything. When her sister with two kids set her up on a date, she gets into a tragic car crash and gets in a coma. Meanwhile, an artist named David Abbott moves into San Francisco and coincidentally, into Elizabeth's apartment for rent. While at the apartment, Elizabeth's spirit haunts him. She doesn't remember who she is, who her family is and what she did - All that she remembered was her apartment and where everything was. To settle the arguments, David agrees to figure out who Elizabeth really is. When they get close to figuring out who she is, they eventually find love in each other and as they finally know who she really is, they learn that fate really has put them both together.

nearly every film is just amazing for some people and just awful for others
So let's face it, nearly every film is just amazing for some people and just awful for others, and this is probably no exception. If you want to snuggle up on the sofa and lose yourself in something that makes you laugh, cry, smile and keep believing in romance and a fairy tale happy ending, then this is definitely for you, My other half was completely wrapped up in the story and he is a 6ft 4in gory horror movie loving boy who is obviously a real softie at heart - apparently this has leap frogged in to his top 10 favourites now! OK so I'll own up and say that we are both big Reese Witherspoon fans, so I guess that has made us a bit biased. It's a close run thing between this and Sweet Home Alabama as they are both so great, and I'd be hard pushed to say which one I liked the best. Just Like Heaven also has a really top soundtrack - especially Colors by Amos Lee. Treat yourself - you won't be disappointed.

A real feel good movie
I watched this the other night in utter bliss. There's absolutely nothing in it to make you have to think or feel bad about anything. It's just pure romance and laughter as a rom com should be.It tells the story of Elizabeth, a doctor in a very busy hospital, who while on her way home one night is involved in a car crash. The next thing we know is that the loveable David has moved into her apartment and she is walking through tables and is unable to pick things up! David is convinced that he's either hallucinating or that she's a ghost!Enter Jon Heder as a spiritual reader of sorts for a few extra laughs. This is quite simply lovely, sweet and very predictable, but who cares when it leaves you feeling this happy? I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be watching it again and again. I'd recommend this movie if you like rom coms in general but especially if you liked films like Bridgette Jones or Love Actually.

Feelgood and fun
Just Like Heaven is a great movie - full of twists and turns and the characters are fabulous. There are some simply wonderful one-liners in there.The basic plot you can read above in the main Amazon review if you want - I won't spoil it here. As a romantic comedy with a ghost twist, it does a good job and is very entertaining.Reese Witherspoon is great as Elizabeth and turns in a witty and well timed performance, as does her leading man Mark Ruffalo. But the ultimate prize goes to John Heder as the psychic who runs a bookstore who is quite simply very very funny. The whole ensemble piece is tight, pacey and very well done.Get a nice bottle of wine out, kick your shoes off and indulge yourself in a piece of great entertainment that will keep you laughing (when you're not crying) to the very last frame. Enjoy!

Great original concept and saves itself from slush.
Great movie, great and original story and good ending.Film relates to an over worked nurse who has a car accident on the way to meet a blind date. She does not realise that she is technically dead and returns to her apartment only to find Mark Ruffalo who has moved in. He is obvioulsy very shocked especially when she can walk through walls and turns up in fridges. Eventually realising there is something not quite right the two attempt to get her body that is in the hospital back to life before the life support machine is switched off. Some comic brilliance and Reese is great with her nagging and puppy dog eyes.

Just Like Heaven [DVD]
Lovely feel good movie. Reese Witherspoon is very good as the overworked medic who hasn't got a 'life'. Mark Ruffalo has a comic talent that is great to watch. The movie shows why you shouldn't be driving when using a mobile and are distracted. The plot whisks you along and attention doesn't dip, it justs tells a good story of fate and falling in love.

Magnificent Movie - Go out and buy it.
I stumbled across this on the TV last night and watched [New Year telly is never that good] and did not know what to expect. But boy was I in for a treat.It is not very often that such a good movie comes on the telly nowadays, as this one is. A simple little story told with tenderness and affection for each of the main characters.Go out and buy it. I am doing that right now for my wife, who also loved it.

Just Like Heaven
Ok, girly film, easy to watch and follow and better than some of the stuff on T.V. but not one to rave about. May watch again but probably won't especially as I've passed it on. Hopefully 'they' will enjoy better I did, we all like different things, just not one for me.
