When David (Mark Ruffalo) sublet his quaint San Francisco apartment, the last thing he expected - or wanted - was a roommate. He had only begun to make a complete mess of the place when a pretty young woman named Elizabeth Masterson (Reese Witherspoon) suddenly shows up, adamantly insisting the apartment is hers. David assumes there's been a giant misunderstanding, until Elizabeth disappears as mysteriously as she appeared. Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who begins to appear and disappear at will - mostly to rebuke David for his personal living habits in her apartment.

Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while Elizabeth has discovered she does have a distinctly ethereal quality - she can walk through walls - she is equally convinced that she is somehow still alive and isn't crossing over anywhere. As Elizabeth and David search for the truth about who Elizabeth is and how she came to be in her present state, their relationship deepens into love. Unfortunately, they have very little time before their prospects for a future together permanently fade away.

TBS right?

When I said I was watching it and it was just a cute movie but I probably wouldn't pick it out of a stack of movies to watch I was only about 1/4 of the way through and had forgotten how intense the climax/end got. I forgot how much I actually did like this movie and now I want it on DVD to add to my collection.

Thanks for the new thread, Meg!

The end is super intense, right? It KILLS me that she doesn't remember him right away. =/

Thanks for the new thread Meg!

It breaks my heart she cant remember him at first.

stormy eyes · 05-02-2011, 09:28 PM

No problem!

The part where she doesn't remember him is so, SO hard for me to watch. I haaaaaate it.

Thanks for the new thread

Such a sweet film. He looked rather crazy when he was talking to her in public and no one else could see her.

I know, is so sad.

I always cry with that scene.

keep the starlight · 05-03-2011, 07:37 PM

Right, Meg? You're just like, SURELY NOT. Say it ain't so! =/

My favorite funny line from the movie is probably this one: "I may have been a lonely home-wrecking whore, but I saved lives!" lols.

stormy eyes · 05-03-2011, 11:07 PM

^ Yes, I loved that.

And I squirm through the entire heartbreaking scene though. I just feel SO bad for Mark's character, gah.

keep the starlight · 05-03-2011, 11:19 PM

Oh, I know. Me, too. She just looks at him with that blank look and I'm, like, NOES.

stormy eyes · 05-04-2011, 10:17 PM

Me too. I actually really do scream out "Nooooooooo." God, it's awful.

keep the starlight · 05-04-2011, 10:47 PM

Seriously, it's one of those things that you literally almost can't watch. =/

stormy eyes · 05-08-2011, 10:41 AM

Yes, it's ridiculously close to muting the TV and turning away for me.

keep the starlight · 05-08-2011, 01:04 PM

So much word. Too sad, too sad.

I just watched this again for the nth time. I love how it's getting better reviews now than it originally did. It's such a gem of a film. I wish Mark and Reese would work together again. Their chemistry in this movie was just great!
