Ricky Gervais is a gas as an insensitive jerk of a dentist who dies for seven minutes on the operating table and, upon being revived, develops the ability to talk to dead people, one of whom wants him to keep his widow (Tea Leoni) from remarrying. Apparently, "the dead have a lot of unfinished business," and all of them want the dentist's help in this screamingly funny romantic comedy, which finds Gervais falling for the ghost's wife. Greg Kinnear plays the late husband.
