Beautiful in so many ways
13 February 2023
I must say that I was thoroughly surprised when I watched this one. I'm writing this in 2023, a total of 18 years since the film's release and I don't remember having heard of this movie before. The only reason I found it is because I was browsing this very website. All I can say is that this movie is truly a hidden gem. It really does what a movie of this type is supposed to do, which is to move you and make you fall in love with life. The movie is not without flaws, but the flaws barely matter because the flow of the movie and the chemistry between the two leads is all that is needed here. If everything needs to make sense to you at all times, then you might have a problem with this movie, but if you're like me and only want to see a good lighthearted movie that takes you to a place you don't want to leave, then I would highly recommend Just Like Heaven. For some bizarre reason, this movie is not categorized as a romance, but it is very much that. It is of course funny and sad too. This movie might even be the best romcom I have seen in my entire life. Those are big words, but I just can't think of another one that touched me like this one did.

Thank you so much Mark and Reese for making this incredibly wonderful movie. I liked you guys before watching this, but I am really liking you now.
