Just like Heaven (2005)

Director: Mark Waters

Movie review

From Time Out New York

David (Ruffalo) sublets a quaint San Francisco apartment, only to find it's inhabited by comely blond ghost Elizabeth (Witherspoon), who's given to ordering him around as if she's his uptight girlfriend. And since he's the only one who can see his new companion, he consequently bewilders onlookers with an apparent tendency to talk to himself. As their initial bickering turns into grudging friendship, it's obvious that these two will get together—if their metaphysical obstacle can be overcome. Despite too much slapstick, Witherspoon and Ruffalo manage to breathe life into what could easily be a one-joke vehicle, or worse, a sappy tear fest.
