There aren't a lot of other satisfying ways to deal with a romance between two people that don't belong in the same world, one being dead (or sort of) and the other not. So I won't hold the film's predictability against it because any other way wouldn't make me like it so much.   That's a compliment. Poor, poor John Heder. He will never, ever escape his Napolean Dynomite persona, no matter how good an actor he is.

Reese Witherspoon is Elizabeth Masterson, a workaholic who can go 26 shift hours and not slow down. That is, until a large truck makes her slow down, but we really never find out what exactly happened until much later in the movie. We assume she died. Three months later, David (Mark Ruffalo) rents Elizabeth's apartment, but soon finds out that she really didn't leave. David thinks he's crazy, but a psychic (Heder) helps him admit he's not, that Elizabeth is a spirit with some unfinished business. Elizabeth doesn't remember anything about her life, so David agrees to track down those who knew her to help her move onto the otherside. Along this trek, they figure out how fate brought them together and how perfect they are to each other. Trust me, it's funnier and better than it sounds.

It's a funny, cute, romantic movie. Ruffalo is a good actor and Reese Witherspoon is adorable -- I don't care how terrible Legally Blonde (1 and 2) was. It's a great date movie, I think.  

3/4 for its incredible adorableness

I haven't seen this, but I agree with you about Heder.  That poor bastard.  All the previews I saw for this even had the announcer blurt out, "And 'Napoleon Dynamite's' Jon Heder."  Something tells me he is going suffer very badly from Mark Hamill syndrome.  But who knows?  Maybe someday he'll re-emerge as a kick ass voice-over actor.
