Plot
In the romantic comedy "Ghost Town," Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), 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. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni). That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle with spirited result.
Notes
In November 2007, Kirsty Wark interviewed Ricky Gervais on the set of the film in New York. The interview was broadcast on 'Newsnight Review' (BBC 2) on 09 November 2007. It can be here viewed on YouTube
