Critic Reviews

Kyle Smith

Just Like Heaven isn't far short of a classic among romantic comedies with a teary chaser, sure to please fans of "Ghost" and "Heaven Can Wait." Read full review

Sheri Linden

Crossing the life-death divide, Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo are a winning pair in this smart and tender comedy. Read full review

Connie Ogle

The film, which comes way too close to preaching, lurches away from the control of director Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Freaky Friday) and ends on a stretched-out note so sappy it makes "Must Love Dogs" look like "8 Mile." Read full review

M. E. Russell

The leads are just too good to commit fully to something this baldly formulaic. It's sad. Read full review

Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson

Unfortunately, the movie fails to fully make sense, which may be because it's based on a French novel (If Only It Were True by Marc Levy). Read full review

Joshua Land

Witherspoon's oft charming perkiness is merely patronizing here, but mid-'90s MTV staple Donal Logue steals every scene he's in as an ethically challenged therapist. Read full review

Stephen Cole

Sounds promising. What a disappointment then to report that Just Like Heaven is more like purgatory, a sweating, straining attempt to marry the wisecracking fury of the modern sitcom to the classic Rock-Doris, Cary-Kate romantic comedy. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solange du da bist ist eine Liebeskomödie mit Reese Witherspoon und Mark Ruffalo in den Hauptrollen. Die Ärztin Elizabeth ist in ein Autounfall entwickelt. Zwei Monate später zieht der ihr unbekannte David in ihre Wohnung ein. Er ist der Einzige der sie sehen kann und muss mit ihr herausfinden wer sie ist und was mit ihr passiert ist.

Solange du da bist wirkt am anfang, wie eine typische Liebeskömodie, was es aber nicht ist. Der Komödien Anteil ist nur wenig, aber dafür sehr gut gemacht. Der Film ist spannend erzählt und man möchte herausfinden was mit ihr passiert ist. Der Film ist sehr emotional und beinhaltet wichtige Themen. Ich empfinde den Film als sehr emotional und schön. Es gibt traurige Momente und auch schöne. Reese Witherspoon und Mark Ruffalo haben eine gute Chemie und man wünscht den beiden alles gute. Es gibt ein Charakter, welcher gestört hat und unnötigt war. (Die Frau, welche mit ihm Sex haben möchte).

Der Film ist einer der besten Liebeskomödien und hat eine gute Mischung zwischen den Genres.

I got talked into seeing this; I had planned on skipping it after the tepid reviews. After seeing it, I'm a little mystified by the reviews. The acting was very good, the script was laugh-out-loud funny in places, and the whole thing was quite enjoyable.

Witherspoon and Ruffalo's magic on-screen caused me to leave the theater early. And not even stoner-like, but real life mormon, Jon Heder, could save the day.
