As a rabid Ricky Gervais fan, this movie would have to screw up pretty royally to earn my disapproval, but I must say it managed to impress me anyways. Despite being rather formulaic, Ghost Town was hilarious and sweet. As Bertram Pincus (D.D.S…), Gervais portrays the perfect jackass: blunt, misanthropic, awkward and funny. Really god-damned funny…
Quality comic timing from Gervais and Kristen Wiig, as well as a great performance from Tea Leoni. Otherwise, nothing particularly noteworthy…
The ghost effects are pretty minimal, but they all looked great.
Some swearing. Also, extended conversation about a mummified penis.
So yeah, ghosts and stuff… Everybody seems to adjust to the fact that they’re dead and walking, or perceiving specters thereof pretty fast…
Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Seems about right Bri. Wasn’t worth heading out to pay at the theater, but worth seeing.
