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 Humour ends up outdated, just like everything else in the film industry, so finding the humour in this to still be a gem was wonderful.I would definitely watch this again, and I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.

I loved it twice i have watched it now. Its funny too and well paced, good story made me giggle in lots of places. Sad too but it all came right in the end.I loved the chemistry between them both. I wont say much as people can read it for themselves, but if you want to know whether its worth watching yes it is, really, you wont be disappointed. Go on you know want too. A little bit of heaven to while away an afternoon or when you are having a duvet day.

Elizabeth is a workaholic doctor trying to get an attending position at a hospital in San Francisco. She loves helping people but sacrifices her social life and sleep. On one late night she is in a car accident. David is a landscape architect who has withdrawn from society out of depression and ends up renting Elizabeth's apartment. Her spirit keeps hanging around but he is the only one who can see her. This is a funny romantic comedy not a scary ghost story. There is a good twist part way through, though it is a bit predictable. I'm usually not into chick flicks, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

About 5 years ago there was this radio show in at one of my local radios,with the same story, But I lost that radio show and never found it again and I've been looking for it EVERYWHERE!! Because the story (of that radio play) was amazing, there was this guy who moved into an apartment but then saw a girl there, figures she was a doc who's in coma now, they fell in love, the man finds her in a hospital and I don't remember the rest.. I think she woke up?! When I was at minute 12 of the movie, I thought I finally found the thing I was looking for, because that radio show was actually based on this movie,so I got the original thing!When the movie ended, I was totally happy, freaking loved it! maybe coz it had details from all of the romantic stories I love, maybe coz it had a great original idea itself! anyways, it was fantastic and if I wasn't sitting at my university's library, I would have cried at one point!GREAT MOVIE, I THINK EVERYONE WILL LOVE IT!
