i take a flyer in rent this movie but i get ta say and it be very and very good . on all front represent script and cast and director and photography and and high production value and etc . prove eva longoria parker be head and shoulder in rom or com above bad actor such a kate hudson and jennifer aniston and who mug and call it act . who woulda thunk it . parker and isla fisher be in a class by themselves in this regard and should try to hold out for project as good a over her dead body . lake bell be excellent and too and and this be the first time i have see her . and finally and paul rudd get to shine in a really good movie and instead of less film . a movie like this never get it due from close mind male . it too bad . a other imdb reviewer here have note and there be nothing lame about this gem no hack writing or acting . and it depiction of contemporary l. a. and california and in general and make every scene look bright and beautiful and clean and and otherwise outstanding in every way . never before have a movie make l. a. look so good . ah and what a little talent and a lot of care can do for a movie . i would not divulge the plot and but a a long time and hard core atheist and i be willing to suspend disbelief and buy into the supernatural theme in order to enjoy an excellent and light hearted piece of entertainment . it remind me very much of the old topper movie and which be also so enjoyable . this movie expose popular and but otherwise hackneyed and movie like ghost for the mediocre and overly sentimental crap fests they be . we already know the public taste lean heavily toward the mediocre . some of u save our praise for the truly worthy and however . if you have enjoy other overlooked gem such a into the night with michelle pfeiffer and jeff goldblum and clu gulager and blind date with bruce willis and kim basinger and american dreamer with jobeth williams and chance be with robert downey jr. and christopher mcdonald and cybil sheppard and make mr. right with john malkovich and etc . and you will enjoy this . a first rate job all around ( even if it kinda hard to believe a straight guy can pretend to be gay for more than five year . ) but even that plot device doesn not detract from the movie overall excellence .
