David (Mark Ruffalo, Collateral, you can count on Me) finds an amazing apartment in San Francisco - only to discover it haunted the spirit of the previous tenant, an over-achievement doctor named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon, legally Blonde, Election). There is something not quite right about Elizabeth's after, against his better knowledge, David agrees to help her investigate her life ... but finds himself in his own trench be. The story takes a twist that some viewers will come, but Just Like Heaven is not the surprise, but the revelation is the story in a new and just as entertaining direction. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are two of the best romantic leads around, but the surprise is how well their contrasting flavors (perky and Moody, respectively) mesh, creating a Sparky, the chemistry. Even with Dina Waters (Freaky Friday), Donal Logue (The Tao of Steve), Ben Shenkman (Angels in America) and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). Crisply directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), which carefully keeps the supernatural from silly and the romance of the Gooey. - Bret Fetzer
