I agree with Sean’s review. It starts off with a hint of promise but once he starts seeing ghosts it actually becomes extremely bland and slow. I didn’t find it corny or Capra-ish, but it was simply too boring to be sweet.

The film was average at best imo and was very similar to ‘How to lose friends and alienate people’. This time though, instead of it being a stupid person we are presented with an anti social one instead.

Without Gervais the film would have been nothing and isn’t it actually nice to say that, being a British comedian! Its great to see him hold his own in Hollywood even if he should have starred in a better film.

A while back I read that David Foster Wallace, a hipster post-modernist author, spoke about the need for art that is sincere and does not always try to be hip irony. I’m not sure that this movie is great art, but it may be better than the review above allows. There is something sweet here. And though Hollywood, it could be worse.

This coming from the guy who likes Dude Where’s My Car and Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo? I’m sure you’d love Ghost Town.

I’m still wondering if this is a gem of a movie that’s being unfairly ignored. I just read a 4 star review of the movie. I’m not sure if Sean and I have the same taste in movies. I’m not sure if Sean appreciates mature and subtle humour. He and Jay like Jack-Ass and Kenny vs. Spenny and stuff of that ilk. I’m not saying that someone can’t appreciate both mature and immature humour. Has anyone else seen this movie?

I just discovered that Ricky Gervais turned down a role in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek. Gervais’ explanation: “I was never a big fan, so I would’ve felt guilty taking the part just to be in a blockbuster. To what? Boost my profile?”

Well we’ll see. I may see it in theaters, simply because there’s nothing else out, and because I have way too many passes right now.

There’s a Subway right next to the theater, which is near my house. If you get any sub there, even the 3 dollar ones, you can get movie passes for 7 bucks. So… lunch and movie ticket for less than regular price of the ticket. I’ve got passes coming out of my asses.

I keep wondering what we missed. I mean, on top of it all, we saw Ghost Town at the festival, where as we discussed previously, you’re usually more likely to see something in a positive light. I’d be interested to hear what you think if you do end up watching it Goon.

87% on RottenTomatoes. Even if I end up agreeing with you, I think when you get that high, you’re beyond the ‘free-pass-just-because-its-X’ mark.. Clearly this movie has an audience, enough so that I’m going to give it a chance sooner or later.

If the film is little more than Gervais’ attempt to break out of the “cult following” category and find some mainstream American success, more power to him. He deserves it, and Ghost Town is an auspicious start.

When it comes to success he seems climbing Ricky Gervais done it in style with
Ghost town. Americans boosting their lives with tiny little tings happen. They are just arrived with so much enthusiasm.. Ghost town is well made cucumber to melt movie loversÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ taste. That is the only big reason I am waiting for this movie. My self is always habited and turn to http://www.80millionmoviesfree.com because it is easy and reliable.
Never break ups. And trusted site to watch movies.
