The greatest movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Just Like Heaven is a 2005 romantic comedy featuring Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon. Catching this on the television when I was on holiday, I decided to settle down and watch it, just because I had nothing else to do whilst waiting to go out. I found a funny, sweet, very sensitive and almost realistic touch to a love story between mortal and ghost. It's been a long time since I really enjoyed a romantic comedy, but Just Like Heaven brings it all perfectly. Mark Ruffalo plays the lonely, sensitive man, who wants to know what love is. To want to have someone to love. Reese Witherspoon plays the ghost of the doctor who works too hard to have a love life, and doesn't know how to really step back to focus on love. When Witherspoon's ghost ends up attached to Ruffalo, they're both unhappy with it. They annoy each other, they get on each other's nerves, but slowly, we see the sweet romance - although predictable - bloom between them. No points for originality, but definitely points for doing it in such a sweet way. There wasn't a massive change of heart, where they go from hate to love in seconds, but we saw it develop. We saw them thrive off of each other, and slowly coming round to each other. This is rarely done in romantic comedies, especially in modern films, so seeing this done so beautifully was an absolute treat. Ruffalo and Witherspoon truly bring their characters to life. It's something that is expected of actors and actresses. For characters to seem real just because they're played by real people - but both actor and actress take the medal for me. They really made both characters feel like they were people I could actually find in the street, people that were just trying to live their every day lives, maybe they could even be my neighbours, or an aunt or uncle. I felt like I knew them, that I knew these characters created in a script, as if they had been in my life for a long time.Never before have I found a romantic comedy so sweet, so fun, and just so. Real. The jokes were really on point for the humour of 2005, but also, they're still funny now. They're still relatable, and it's not easy to find a film from over a decade ago that is still funny. Humour ends up outdated, just like everything else in the film industry, so finding the humour in this to still be a gem was wonderful.I would definitely watch this again, and I definitely recommend it to people, even now in 2017. This would be my first recommendation for anyone who asked me for a romantic comedy film to watch. Absolutely spectacular. I hope to see more films in recent years become more like Just Like Heaven.

'Legally Blonde' proved that Reese Witherspoon could do comedies well, and this is one of a long line of romantic comedies she made off the back of that films success.This isn't actually that great of a film. Sappy and sentimental, it boasts some good jokes, and good performances, ironically from the supporting cast.I don't buy Mark Ruffallo as a romantic comedy lead, I'm sorry but I don't. I much prefer him playing characters like the one he played in 'Now you see me'.An easy going but flawed comedy.

Just Like Heaven is a dream of a romantic comedy.For one, it doesn't have the ever present "lie" which inevitably ruins everything in perpetuity throughout the universe, which is a ridiculous plot scam. You use that when you don't know how to write a script.Next, you have some very funny situations and dialogs. Those might be a bit easy, but they are well used. You also have a few tearful moment that are very sweet. Finally, to make it complete, the acting is pretty good.There are only two bad things I could say about it all. One, you get a perfect ending, but you can excuse it, because you're sort of praying for it, and the rest of the movie wasn't pushing it's luck. Second, the apartment is perfect, and that's always the case in every Hollywood movie.It's great romance with an unusual setting. It even has a few guy-perspective jokes. See it.

This movie will surely touch your heart and put a smile on your face. The two main characters played by Witherspoon and Ruffalo keep the film moving along well, and keep the viewers watching. The theme of "seeing ghosts" isn't treated as silly; it's an engaging part of the movie. Watching the relationship develop between the two is done very well, and leads to a great ending. Not completely predictable, the movie, besides being a romance, addresses the meaning of life, and the question of how much dedication a career is worth. Ruffalo's character is very endearing, and really shines in the film, as he is battles his own ghosts. Really a tremendous film that you could watch at least once a year and still enjoy. Reminded me of another favorite with a similar "ghost" element "Heart and Souls". Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite fame as a great element also as a laid back expert on the occult.
