Just Like Heaven movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Fortunately the film stars Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon, whose collective appeal eventually fuses to pump some heart, laughs and life into what often resembles a disorganized, schizophrenic mess. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: Just Like Heaven is a huge waste of talent (Witherspoon's) and time (ours), a supernatural romantic comedy that is neither romantic, comedic, super or natural. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Director Mark Waters knows how to turn the gimmicky unknown into psychologically comic adventure, just as he did in 2003's Freaky Friday. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Just when Just Like Heaven becomes too cloyingly cute to endure, it takes an unexpected turn. The humor shifts from the ha-ha variety to closer to black. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It's corny, it's somewhat predictable, but it's also very sweet, it's funny. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Just like you might expect, the cuddly, often funny romantic comedy Just Like Heaven sticks its head permanently in the clouds. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: The film is as insubstantial as the clouds on the poster. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie wants all you girls to know that should medical misfortune come your way, just hold on. Your soul will find your soul mate, then love will set you free. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A movie that's likely to appeal only to the most susceptible and uncritical romantics. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: Just Like Heaven is light, pleasing and well worth seeing. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Like all ghost movies, the premise of Just Like Heaven is wraith-thin. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Playing a San Francisco doctor whose devotion to work and family has left her no time for romance, the star hustles like Tinkerbell to keep the mood light. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Just Like Heaven could be the perfect balm for post-Katrina movie audiences in search of a little levity. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: An oddly moralistic salvo for the anti-euthanasia set. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: It's popcorn entertainment with a heavy political-medical agenda. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: This screwball comedy, initially promising, dies a painful death once the politicking begins. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: See two charming characters make beautiful music together. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Given its somewhat morbid premise, this metaphysical second-chance comedy is impressively nimble and cheery. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Just Like Heaven is a sweet little nothing that is barely there, about a girl who isn't there at all. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Can one movie support these many coincidences and close calls and misunderstandings? Yes. The movie works, and so we accept everything. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Just Like Heaven is really nothing more than your standard love-from-beyond-the-grave squishfest (even though the heroine isn't actually dead) done up in the dumb bonnet-and-bloomers get-up of contemporary romantic comedy. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Just Like Heaven isn't a groundbreaking movie -- where romantic comedy is concerned, there isn't much ground left to break -- but it contains some nice moments and fresh twists. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: What a disappointment then to report that Just Like Heaven is more like purgatory. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Closer to hell, really. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: [Mark Waters] has pretty well delivered just what young PG-13 girls carrying that extra pack of Kleenex will expect. Read more
Brian Lowry, Variety: Considerably more mushy than madcap, Just Like Heaven is as uneven as the topography of its San Francisco locales, but the amiable peaks mostly offset the flat stretches and valleys. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Just Like Heaven turns into a bait-and-switch of a movie, wrapping weirdly maudlin speculation inside the candy coating of a frothy romance. Read more
