Sinopsis(1)
Todo empieza con el doctor Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), un hombre cuyo don de gentes deja mucho que desear. Cuando Pincus muere repentinamente durante una operación quirúrgica rutinaria, pero es revivido milagrosamente a los siete minutos, se despierta y descubre que ahora tiene la molesta facultad de ver fantasmas. Y lo que es peor, todos quieren algo de él, sobre todo Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), quien le acosa para que intente impedir la inminente nueva boda de su viuda Gwen (Téa Leoni). (Paramount Pictures España)

A strange comedy. Far from being bad or not very entertaining, it is simply "different". It is full of really dry humor, funny (and often very strange at the same time, which is very closely related this time) dialogues and based on a classic scheme, which screenwriter/director David Koepp tried to make as interesting as possible with a ghost plot. And it worked, thanks mainly to Ricky Gervais, whose casting was a real win. Pitted against another US romance by another British comedian - Simon Pegg and How to Lose Friends & Alienate People - it's 1 : 1. Both gentlemen handled the romances in their own way (one is grumpy and cynical, the other very entertaining) and both ended up with four stars.

I'm giving the film four stars, although it isn't anything special. It’s just such a feel-good film. The filmmakers didn’t manage to avoid pathos, but I forgave them this time because the hospital scenes with the lawyer were perfect.
