Ghost Town: Sept. 19, 2008
Who’s in it: Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni
Who directed it: David Koepp
What’s it about: A dentist named Dr. Pincus (Gervais) starts seeing dead people after dying for seven minutes during a routine doctor’s exam. When a ghost named Frank (Kinnear) finds out that Pincus can communicate with the dead, he convinces him to help make things right with his widow Gwen (Leoni).
What you’ll love: Gervais makes for an unconventional romantic lead, grounded by the more traditional comedy of Kinnear and Leoni – that and a surprisingly good soundtrack.
Greg Kinnear says: “[Tea] is fantastic. She is someone I always wanted to work with and I finally do a movie with her and she’s not allowed to make eye contact with me.”
Next: Appaloosa
