Ghost Town (12A)

I enjoyed this film from start to finish, I even laughed out loud many times in the cinema! Ricky Gervais plays a dentist in New York who enjoys his privacy; he is a Scrooge. After a routine operation it turns out he'd died for 7 minutes and because of this he can see the dead. For a man who likes his privacy, his life has just got a whole lot noisier as the dead keep asking for his help. One ghost played by Greg Kinnear is very persistant and persuades the dentist to help him stop his living wife from marrying another man. This leads to some very amusing situations. Ricky Gervias gives a good performance in his usual style (the Office and Extras). It's a feel good family entertainment film.

The film gets (****)
