Amazon.com: Bad romantic comedies make you scoff at their absurdity; good ones make you wish your life was that absurd. Just Like Heaven is just smart and likable enough to trigger that wishing. David (Mark Ruffalo, Collateral, You Can Count On Me) finds an amazing apartment in San Francisco--only to discover it's haunted by the spirit of the previous tenant, an overachieving doctor named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde, Election). There's something not quite right about Elizabeth's afterlife; against his better judgement, David agrees to help her investigate her life...but finds himself digging into his own as well. The plot takes a twist that some viewers will see coming, but Just Like Heaven doesn't rely on the surprise alone; the revelation takes the story in a new and just as entertaining direction. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are two of the best romantic leads around, but the surprise is how well their contrasting flavors (perky and moody, respectively) mesh, creating a sparky, engaging chemistry. Also featuring Dina Waters (Freaky Friday), Donal Logue (The Tao of Steve), Ben Shenkman (Angels in America), and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). Crisply directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), who carefully keeps the supernatural from getting silly and the romance from getting gooey. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - I was disappointed
I had read this book and listened to the audio of it and loved them both. The people who made this movie thought they could improve the story the author had written. They couldn't and didn't. Original story was much better than the movie story. Sad--we were very disappointed.

Rating: - Just Like Heaven
"Uplifting, Spirtied & Sweet", It just feel like Heaven. Wonderfully acted. This movie is a good feel for your heart & soul.
Rating: - Cute, clean, fun
How many romance movies do you see that don't have a sex scene? How refreshing to have a story that actually focuses on romance. Somehow this cute movie flew under my radar in the theatres, but we own it now. Reese Witherspoon is as good as ever as the spunky spirit who haunts the guy subletting her apartment. It's not great cinema, but it's family friendly; a big plus in my home.
Rating: - Just Like Heaven
David Abbott has lost everything - his job, his home, and most importantly his wife. He has just been simply existing and drinking excessively to help cover the pain. David has been looking for a furnished home in San Francisco to rent, and quite by accident stumbles upon the perfect temporary solution. He is happy with his choice, and the prospect of moving in until he sees a woman who is insisting she is the owner. David wants her gone, but she makes it clear that she isn't going anywhere until ... Read More
Rating: - Reese Witherspoon hit another homerun with"JUST LIKE HEAVEN"!!
I've watched her from a young actress grow in to a very fine adult actress.
I can't even remember the first movie I saw her in, but I've been watching movies with her in them since I was a teenager.
This movie will have you laughing, crying and sheering at the end when (Reese) finally figures out who (Mark Ruffalo) is.
If you are a sucker for romantic comedies like I am,
you will love this movie.
I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!!
