review

well i went to see the paul mccarthy exhibition for the final time. saw some more of his movies (there was one i had missed) well i am glad that i saw it, just as dull adn as crap as the other ones.
so once i had finished with the "art" i jumped on the bus and went to my local cinema (i have a monthly £15 see as many films as you like card, so with a bit of work i am looking to lower the price of films to about a £1 a time....)
so tonight i went to see "just i like heaven" with resse witherspoon (she of the angular jaw) and mark ruffalo (who according to the internet movie database has done some erotic thrillers in his time...)
it is a rom com.
reese is a deternined doctor who works very hard and has no time for life. ruffalo is a depressed landscape designer who still misses his dead wife. one night reese is on her way to a blind date only to be caught in a head on collison.
ruffalo is looking for an appartmen, everywhere he looks he hates, then fate intervenes and leads him to the flat that reese used to live in. then one night the two meet in the flat. they both think that the other one is an intruder.
with the help of darryl (john heder) they work out that reese is a spirit and that they need to do something to find out who she is.
the story is intelligent, witty and heartwarming,
reese is gorgeous as ever (though not as angular as she has been) and she is making a determined effort to take meg ryan's rom com crown. ruffalo is convincing as the hangdog depressed man who rediscovers love and life thanks to his involvement with resse.
i have to say i was giggling in places and there were a few moments where there was a lump in my throat.
a film i recommend.
