It's a little heavy-footed and almost tries too hard, yet I quite enjoyed 'Just Like Heaven'. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo are a strong pairing, with Jon Heder spearheading a good support cast ably. It's a well paced film at around 90 minutes, there are some decently amusing scenes in there alongside some more sombre ones - the majority of which come off rather well. Some parts are cliché, but not to the degree that it affected my enjoyment. One that is well worth a watch, in my opinion of course.
