    Excellent

    Went and saw this last night and I thought it was excellent.

    If you're a fan of Extra's then this is for you as Gervais' character is similer to Andy Millman with regards to his sarcasm, cinicism and humour.

    If you're not a fan of the above (like my fiancee) you probably won't think much of this film.

    Very good debut as a lead role...

    The plot is terrible, been done a million times. Almost a cheap remake of Scrooged or Ghost.

    I like Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni too. Just can't see what on earth made them all accept this tripe?

He talked to us about teeth, sweet dreams and who he'd interview if he could see dead people. LOVEFiLM: In Ghost Town you play a dentist, does it make going to the dentist any easier? Ricky Gervais: Well luckily I only go the dentist... Read more
