Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) Stars as Elizabeth, a busybody go get ‘em Doctor, entirely career oriented, with no mind for relationships. One a fateful night, she receives the biggest promotion of her career, and is on the way to meet a friend to be set up with a guy, when she is smashed into oblivion by a mack truck.
2 months later, A young man (Mark Ruffalo) who suffers from depression is looking for a secluded apartment. He finds nothing he likes, save for a strange one that has been recently sublet, and had not gone out. He rents the apartment, only to find that it is haunted by the ghost of it’s previous tenant, Elizabeth.
The young man tries many different means of unhaunting his new apartment, eventually turning to a paranormal book store clerk who has some strange gifts (John Heder, Napoleon Dynamite). Through his advice, and a few adventures with Elizabeth, the two eventually become friends, in unlikely circumstances.
The climactic end trails Elizabeths body, comatose, as the two fight to bring her back to the real world, and fall in love. It’s a pretty awesome flick for a chick flick, and as unlikely as the conclusion is, it’s a little heartwarming. I definitely felt for the main characters both, two people that don’t want to fall in love, but fate says otherwise. 2.
