Bertram Pincus, is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts.
Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I find Gervais to be quite an unnatural actor but here he takes the lead role and surprises me with a quietly underplayed performance.
In his first big-screen lead role, Ricky Gervais plays a dentist with a general loathing of life (and people). When a freak incident brings him in-touch with the dead, his life changes is more ways than he could have imagined... Whilst Gervais suits the role of the life-loathing dentist, the gooey bits are hard to believe - it just isn't Ricky Gervais when he's like that! Still definitely worth watching, as you will laugh when Gervais does what he does best.
Not bad
