Ghost Town: Review

This is kinda a short review :D

Ghosts are awesome. Why are they awesome? Because they're dead, scary, can pass through anything, and are just superb! So a movie about ghosts has to be good right? Well, yeah! What's even better is it isn't the generic horror film either! Ghost Town is a romantic comedy...with ghosts!
The plot goes as so:
A dentist has a near death experience, and after it he begins seeing ghosts everywhere. The ghosts realize he can see them and they try to get his help with their problems. At first he doesn't want to help, but a tuxedo wearing ghost convinces the dentist to help him. The dentist begins flirting with the tuxedo ghost's widow in an attempt to get her not to marry a person she's engaged to, however as things always turn the dentist falls in love with the girl himself.

Yeah, so thats about it.
The actors in film are excellent. The film stars Ricky Gervais, a British actor, as the self-centered dentist Bertram Pincus, Greg Kinnear who plays the tuxedo wearing ghost Frank, and Téa Leoni plays Gwen, Frank's widow.
Ricky Gervais is an excellent actor, his portrayal of a self-centered British dentist is not only hilarious but extremely well executed. Kinnear's portrayal as Frank is just hilarious all together and Leoni and Gervais have a great chemistry on screen. The ghosts that Bertram sees throughout the movie are hilarious when they interact with him or each other.
The story itself was great. It seemed very well written and well performed by the cast.
I don't really have much else to say about the film besides it's a good comedy, great little movie to just go see with some friends, and I definitely recommend it.

I give it a 4.7/5
