Plot 411: An anti-social dentist goes in for a colonoscopy, dies, comes back to life and walks out seeing dead people.

Review: Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear were great in this film. It turned out funnier than I was expecting, especially Gervais' character, Bertram Pincus (or "Pink Ass" as Kinnear's character calls him). This movie had wickedly funny lines that were sincerely irreverant and probably not politically correct at all. This is why they were so humorous. I wish there were more scenes of Pincus doing his "I hate people" routine because it really was hilarious. Kinnear's character is an adulterous dead husband, and what's interesting is that you actually like the guy depsite his immorality. That's a hard thing to do but Kinnear does it well. He is unapologetic of his former ways, which I guess implies that he accepts himself completely. Confidence really is sexy, huh?

Watch It: For great one-line zingers from Gervais in a sort of Americanized British way.

Skip It: If your funny bone leans more toward slapstick funny.
