I really enjoyed Ghost Town. Much more than I thought I would. I like Ricky Gervais in everything he does and Tea Leoni is very funny as she's working on Mummies.Greg Kinnear is Tea's dead husband and after Ricky gets some surgery, where he dies for about 7 minutes, he starts seeing all the ghosts that are hanging around with unfinished business and he's annoyed.
Kinnear's character is of course named Frank - another dead Frank. I like it.
There is some weird romance and some comedy and overall, it's just a nice watchable fun movie with a Frank. So that's worth 4 stars, if I gave out stars. Also, all of a sudden, bongos drums appear in this movie, so that's worth another 1/2 star!
P.S. Finally, a stranger found this movie review blog and made a comment about having Franks in movies. His opinion was that Franks are usually doomed characters and there have been many dead Franks - unseen dead Frank in Brute Force (1946) starring Burt Lancaster and the reporter in Khartoum (1966) starring Charleton Heston who goes up the river OK, but comes back headless. Pobre Frank!
