Television icon Ricky Gervais makes an exceptional transition to the big screen in this smart and incredibly funny supernatural comedy.

The film is about a dentist who just wants the world to leave him alone finds out he can now see ghosts and they all want his help. This movie was smart and funny with a sad and a touching ending.

I really liked Ricky Gervais here - his dry, British wit is perfect for a surly dentist who hates the world. The plot was too predictable with some great moments, but overall standard. Still, if you're a fan of Gervais, it's worth a look.

Ricky Gervais does a lot with this formulaic, but enjoyable comedy about a Scrooge who finds love with the help of ghosts; the sentimental moments don't quite work, but it's consistently fun to watch. Final Grade: B

A great script by David Koepp, who also directed this surpriser film of 2008. Everything worked in this film. Funny and moving.

Ricky Gervais gives a hilarious, standout performance, but the overall substance of the film is pretty uneventful.
