June 23, 2011This was a funny and sweet movie. Although the story is a bit weird but it was entertaining as well. Especially the priest part.

March 6, 2011An ok rom-com with a Ghost twist. It has elements of Ghost and while you were sleeping with out being too similar. It's not really a stand out fim or that funny.....but I did enjoy watching it and felt overall it was a good film. Worth checking out if it's on.

December 17, 2008Charming romantic comedy. David sublets an apartment only to find that it is still occupied by a ghost. He is the only one who can see and hear Elizabeth. They try to find out what happened to her. Good cast.

October 2, 2008What seems to start out as a story similar to "Ghost" soon follows its own paths and doesn't do much wrong on the way. Likeable characters, good acting and great chemistry between Witherspoon and Ruffalo, plus a story that keeps you entertained, of course without being very inven... read more

Starts out glib and gimmicky but later digs surprisingly deep.

It's corny, it's somewhat predictable, but it's also very sweet, it's funny. Full Review

Just Like Heaven is really nothing more than your standard love-from-beyond-the-grave squishfest (even though the heroine isn't actually dead) done up in the dumb bonnet-and-bloomers get-up of contemp... Full Review

Just when Just Like Heaven becomes too cloyingly cute to endure, it takes an unexpected turn. The humor shifts from the ha-ha variety to closer to black. Full Review

Romance isn't alive but on life support in Just Like Heaven, a groaningly awful romantic comedy.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Just Like Heaven is a sweet little nothing that is barely there, about a girl who isn't there at all. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
It's popcorn entertainment with a heavy political-medical agenda. Full Review

Jami Bernard, New York Daily News
This screwball comedy, initially promising, dies a painful death once the politicking begins. Full Review
