Elizabeth
(Witherspoon) is a doctor who as the film opens has just worked a 26-hour shift
and is now late for a blind date dinner arranged by her sister (Spywey-Waters).
She never makes it.
David
(Ruffalo) is a grieving widower who rents her now vacant flat. Except that it’s
not always completely vacant. Elizabeth’s spirit pops up now and then and she’s
very upset to find a stranger in her flat.
It’s fun. It’s sad. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are both, as expected, appealing in this unlikely rom-com (aren’t rom-coms unlikely by definition?) This one offers an old but enjoyable concept, even the silly and mushy parts.
