Ok, Sorry for not having any reviews in over a week.Slacker....I know,but I have been tied up with drinking beer and watching basketball. So sorry,but the next few weeks I probably wont see much,but I did catch this last night,so I figured I'd at least put something up.
"Ghost Town" is on HBO right now,it was out at the theaters for about a week in the fall of 2008.It has Ricky "Its Ok My Films Make Only About $5 Total Here In The States,Because I'm Rolling Like Mike Myers In "Studio 54" Naked In My Bed Every Night In The Millions Of Dollars That I made From The Original Version Of "The Office""or "Steve Carrell Cant Hold My Dick In The Office" Gervais.
Seriously,let me take a second here.Mr. Gervais has to my knowledge now appeared in 3 or 4 films that have had theatrical releases at the theaters,and I really believe not one of them has made their money back. This is the first one that I have actually seen.....and to be honest,before last night,I can honestly say that I have never seen anything this dude has been in....my bad....because,even though "Ghost Town" isn't a comedy classic,it has its moments,and Mr. Gervais comes across as a pretty funny dude.I do plan on trying to see more of his stuff now.
"Ghost Town" stars Gervais as a dentist in New York City who goes in for a colonoscopy that goes wrong,and he flat lines for several minutes.When he awakens,he can now has gone all Haley Joel "My Parents Wanted To Clone Me Like Mccauleys Parents Did....Seriously Theres Like Fuckin 12 Culkins Running Around" Osment,and can see dead people now.And the dead people know it and are seeking him out to see if he can help them.This leads to some very funny bits.The main ghost that is bugging the hell out of him for help is Greg " I Really Thought I Was Going To Be A Bigger Star Than I Turned Out To Be....Should He Really Be Classified As A Star?" Kinnear.
You see,Kinnears character had died a year and half earlier and wants to have Gervais help him keep his hot and spicy widowed wife Te'a "My Husband Loves Porn And Hookers"Leoni from marrying a guy that he swears is up to no good,but actually appears to be the perfect dude.Of course even though this isn't really a true romantic comedy (thank goodness),Gervais's character falls for Leone.And tries to use the fact that he knows so much about her thanks to her dead hubby to try and woo her.This doesn't go too smoothly.
What I liked about this movie,is that Gervais's character is actually pretty much a prick the whole flick,its not one of those typical rom coms,where the guy is some super sweet schmuck who has always been right under her knows kind of bullshit.I mean really the dude is a bit of a turd,but its all in a good way.
I enjoyed "Ghost Town" there were moments in it towards the end that I thought we were heading into trouble with it getting too sappy,but then it would pull itself out.The acting is solid by all.Plus its got Kristen "She Would Be Funny In "Schindler's List"" Wiig in a funny role as the doctor that Gervais deals with at the hospital....seriously this chick just makes me laugh...shes great.Anyways,if you have HBO and can catch "Ghost Town" check it out. If you don't have HBO or any movie channels at all because you are a cheap fucker,then go rent it if you want.Its a decent flick.
