I got results for a 2005 movie called 'Just Like Heaven'. what in the Beautiful Eyes/Our Song is this poster??? the movie is a romcom about a guy haunted by the spirit of a woman in a coma

    I’m not asking for a solution. I know nobody can make something exist. But I want to be allowed to be upset that when I’m really sad and need an escape I’m being told all I get are sheep or Vince Vaughn when I want a new Just Like Heaven. Love that movie.

    Unhinged Movie Review for Just Like Heaven (2005). Reese Whiterspoon paved the way for the hair and makeup department of Snow White to also struggle with consistency amongst all the reshoots. A great drinking game for rom com fans. Drink every time Reese's hair changes within the same scene. 10/10

    in the movie Just Like Heaven, Mark Ruffalo wants a furnished apartment and there's a montage of him looking at a bunch of terrible ones before finding the one he wants, and I think one of the over the top bad ones looked just like this

    So I was writing up the movies of 2005 and I got to Just Like Heaven, a movie where I read the book before the film was even going and lost my mind with rage at the end which is astoundingly bad and remembered how much the movie fixed the ending and should be better loved.

    Just Like Heaven is maybe the most underrated romcom ever. Has way too many haters. Plus Mark Ruffalo in that movie is maybe the hottest a man has ever been

    Strange Magic is one of my go tos for a bonkers movie but a good laugh. The Muppets (2011) is highly underrated. If ur in the mood for romcoms in ur list, my fav is Just Like Heaven. Stardust is also in my all time favs if youve never seen it cannot recommend it enough.

    My biggest issue with these new romantic books that the twists are all inspired by 25 years old romantic comedies. Maybe Just Like Heaven is not the most famous movie but I very well recognise a ghost in a coma!

    You've got that right. I posted links to the Wikipedia entries for THE DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD and the List of Fallacies this morning. Yesterday, something reminded me of the scenes from the 2005 film "Just Like Heaven", where the guy is trying various ways to rid his apartment of the girl's spirit.

    For some reason, those fingers made me remember a line from the 2005 film "Just Like Heaven", which I will now paraphrase: "The power of [the middle finger] COMPELS you; the power of [the middle finger] COMPELS you".

    We're on the last episode (of 8) of 'Temple' on Netflix. Very good so far. And the film 'Mother's Instinct' was very good and stylish. *Two beautiful very well dressed female leads. The film 'The Gift' (2012 I think) is excellent. Light-hearted comedy? - I always like the film 'Just Like Heaven'

    Out of the blue my mom said Cheyenne in This Must Be The Place (2011) must be based on Alice Cooper, whereas I’ve always posited Robert Smith. So we watched some Cure vids. Then I said now we must see Dinosaur Jr’s “Just Like Heaven” and she said what is wrong with you and we found a movie to watch.

    It's a little heavy-footed and almost tries too hard, yet I quite enjoyed 'Just Like Heaven'. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo are a strong pairing, with Jon Heder spearheading a good support cast ably. It's a well paced film at around 90 minutes, there are some decently amusing scenes in there alongside some more sombre ones - the majority of which come off rather well. Some parts are cliché, but not to the degree that it affected my enjoyment. One that is well worth a watch, in my opinion…
