Review

Who knew that Ricky Gervais could play such a likable leading man? This light, enjoyable romantic comedy is filmed here in the home of Woody and Seinfeld, whose awful personal characteristics never stopped them from seducing a girl either. Playing a crass, people-hating dentist, Gervais begins to see annoying ghosts and eventually worms his unctuous way into Téa Leoni’s heart.
