Leave your thoughts about Ghost Town.
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoBoth very funny and a bit of a tearjerker, with an on-the-money performance from Ricky Gervais. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowThe astonishingly versatile Kinnear proves note-perfect as a huckster who slowly rids himself of slime. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA welcome surprise: a supernatural romantic comedy that works, graced with a cast just off-center enough to make it distinctive. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThe twists are executed superbly, right up to a climax that fits the David Mamet definition of what makes for a perfect ending: It is both surprising and inevitable. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA misanthropic dentist, a roguish ghost and a zany Egyptologist: as these unlikely companions scamper around Manhattan in the buoyant comedy Ghost Town, they resurrect the spirits of classic movie curmudgeons like W. C. Fields and such romantic comedians as Cary Grant and Carole Lombard in Woody Allen territory. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenA winning mix of sharp comedy and touching bits that keeps the laughter -- a few tears -- flowing. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerZhao Dayong's Ghost Town paints a haunting trifurcated portrait of people set adrift by forced large-scale economic and cultural transformations. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayA sweet and hilarious romantic comedy featuring a breakout performance by British comic genius Ricky Gervais, inspires viewers to pause, reflect and praise one of the most rare and wondrous occurrences in contemporary cinema: the Good Movie. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonSmartly supernatural, and featuring sensational performances by Ricky Gervais and Tea Leoni, Ghost Town is a "Topper" for our times. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIt sounds sappy, and sometimes it is, but director Koepp and co-writer John Kamps stay alert to the humor and pathos of Bertram's isolation. |
