Ghost Town

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Rating: 7 of 10

This movie starred Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni, and Greg Kinnear. The movie explores, from my Christian perspective, forgiveness, and specifically forgiving those who have died. The movie doesn’t come right out and say that but that was underlying moral of the story for me.

Ricky Gervais is hilarious as an arrogant introvert dentist whose favorite part of his job is shoving dental equipment into patient’s mouths in order to shut them up.

Greg Kinnear plays the character that the story revolves around… a dead man who can’t get away from his past for some reason. His mission throughout the movie is to find closure, and he plays the smarmy character well.

Tea Leoni plays the dead guys wife and does a great job conveying remorse, grief, and bitterness while still maintaining the quirky sense of humor that she contributes to all of her movies (loved her in Spanglish & Dick and Jane).

Overall, this movie was a great blend of moral depth, humor, and love. The actors chosen were all perfect for their role.
