About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, funny afterlife story with a sentimental streak, similar in spirit to Defending Your Life or Ghost Town; Not for you if you dislike sappy comedy-drama or plot holes.
Pros: heartfelt and sweet; funny ghost antics; easy to follow | Cons: cheesy and cliche; uneven tone; gets too sappy
