Henry (Paul Rudd) is devastated when his beautiful fiancée Kate (Eva Longoria Parker) is killed by accident on their wedding day. He reluctantly agrees to consult a psychic named Ashley (Lake Bell) at the urging of his sister Chloe (Lindsay Sloane). Despite his skepticism over her psychic abilities, Henry finds himself falling hard for Ashley, and vice versa... but there's a big snag. Ashley's being haunted by Kate's ghost, who considers it her heavenly duty to break up Henry and Ashley's fledging romance if it's the last thing she does on this earthly plane.

Critics' reviews

"Many a comic potentiality is underworked, and the film's prevailing tone is obnoxiously erratic"

Nick Pinkerton: LA Weekly
"This madcap paranormal love triangle is charming on its own terms."

Ken Fox: TV Guide
"The result, while not horrifically bad, is as mediocre a motion picture as you're likely to find in a multiplex this season. It's tough to hate the movie because it doesn't generate enough emotion for that kind of passion."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"The slapstick is crudely executed. And the movie never makes up its mind regarding how nasty the ghost of Kate is going to play her revenge tactics."

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"Consider for a moment how this movie might play if it took itself seriously. Would it be better than as a comedy? I suspect so."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"In her imperfectly beautiful way, Bell suggests Carole Lombard. As a comedian, Bell is enough of a distraction that you can forgive all the inanities around her. And there are many."

John Anderson: The Wall Street Journal
"Rudd's talents as a thinking woman's charmer are wasted -- as are those of amiable Jason Biggs in a weak variation on the pop theme of being a gal's gay best friend."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
