When "Just Like Heaven" gets there, and you're a music fan who watched "120 Minutes" with Dave Kendall in the late-eighties, you'll smile, because the song it evokes came out the same year as The Cure classic. "Just Like Heaven" gets considerably better when the premise changes. Elizabeth(Reese Witherspoon) and David(Mark Ruffalo) become less irritating after she learns about her relationship with the world. Their bickering over who owns the apartment gets old real fast. When they open up to each other, it's not that painful to watch like your lesser romantic comedies, where the actors have little or no chemistry. A believable couple hides the contrivances of their inevitable coupling, typical of this genre. What's missing from "Just Like Heaven", however, is a romantic gesture that evokes the fatalistic whine in Robert Smith's voice.… Expand

As bland as weak tea.

A little under mediocre. The cast's talents are wasted by a childish story that only young one's would get the comedy out of it, and the romantic part is not really up to par with current romantic films.

The male lead was horribly miscast! The role cried out for either Jim Carrey or Steve Martin. I like Reese, but she is veering into Meg Ryan territory.

Nodding to classics such as Ghost and Heaven Can Wait, Just Like Heaven is another formidable entry into romantic-comedies venturing beyond life and love.

The film “And if it were true” has some imperfections, but it has the merit of offering us a show which transports us to an unreal world and which allows us to escape from our daily lives. Marc Levy's book is also very appreciated for the way it translates situations and feelings (in the book her name is Lauren, and Arthur if I remember correctly). I liked this film because the images gave another relief to an improbable story, just like a fairy tale which took us on a journey into an imaginary world and which made us sometimes say: “What if it were true. ..”.… Expand
