Plot

Bertram Pincus, a cranky, people-hating Manhattan dentist, develops the unwelcome ability to see dead people. Really annoying dead people. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy, a smooth-talking ghost, who pesters him into a romantic scheme involving his widow Gwen. They are soon entangled in a hilarious predicament between the now and the hereafter!

Reviews

Really enjoyed this movie! Was funny, good story and had a lovely romantic element. There was a great sci-fi theme which even involved Ancient Egyptian culture, really cool. A twist made it exciting and fun to watch. This movie proves once again that good story and great actors are better than modern day spectacular special effects.
