Ghost Town
(2008) Directed by David Koepp. A dentist (Ricky Hervais) gains the ability to communicate with the dead after momentarily dying during a routine medical procedure. When the dearly departed begin requesting favours from Dr. Pincus, the self-absorbed dentist finds that living with ghosts isn't easy. Fortunately, recently deceased businessman Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) agrees to keep the dead at bay if Dr. Pincus will just agree to prevent his widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni), from tying the knot to humourless human rights lawyer Richard (Billy Campbell). At first Dr. Pincus agrees to go along with the ruse, though it isn't long before he begins to question his supernatural sidekick's true motivations.[Comedy | Fantasy | Drama]
