Ricky Gervais has a way of making fluffy, makes-you-feel-all-warm-inside movies. Ghost Town was no exception. It was better than The Invention of Lying, which was another fluffy romantic comedy. Ghost Town was a sweet story about Bertram Pincus a grumpy dentist who lacks any desire to interact in a socially conscious way with others, who dies for a few minutes when he undergoes a routine operation. He then can see dead people. One dead person (Greg Kinnear), who was an adulterer and not very honest husband needs help from Bertram in order to finally cross over. I don't want to spoil the story, but in the end love blossoms and Bertram's heart grows three-fold. Very cute. I liked that it was a simple, innocent flirtation and budding romance storyline rather than lusty sex scenes -- which I totally would not want to watch anyway with Gervais in the male lead.
