Maybe Dreamworks needs help in picking a release date, so here you go: October 31 (Halloween day)

Yeah, what the synopsis doesn't mention is that Gervais' character is anti-social and just generally hates people. So when the dead start invading his life and trying to get him to help them, it just annoys the hell out of him.

why are there movies about ONE person seeing a dead person who needs to contact a loved one or seperate someone from their loved one?

I mean really get new plots people.
But i guess it's ok...

This actually looks pretty good. The trailer isn't hilarious, but it is an amusing premise. I wanna see more.

I saw this film!!! I saw it on vacation to Maggie Valley and it ROCKS! Some kick butt western action. I don't know why this comedy is called Ghost town but I can say that the western is worth a watch. I would love to see it again. When does the DVD come out?

This movie sounds like a cheap version of the 1990 movie Ghost (with Patrick Shwayze), but it would center on the equivalent of Whoopy Glodberg instead...
