This was actually a fun and quirky movie to watch. I have been meaning to watch this since I saw that actor Ricky Gervais doing the interview circuits on late night shows. I think his British attitude made it a bit more funny.
Basically, you have Ricky as the main character working as a dentist who is very antisocial. He avoids people at all costs and in the process is just kind of a jerk. He has some bowel problems, goes into the hospital to get a colonoscopy and dies for 7 minutes. After he comes back to life, he is able to see ghosts who have unfinished business on earth. Greg Kinnear plays the main ghost who needs Ricky to get his widowed wife to break up with her new boyfriend.
Overall, the plot is predictable with Ricky falling in love with Greg's wife played by Téa Leoni. It does have a nice happy Hollywood ending and is enjoyable to watch.
