Eamonn Reviews Ghost town part 2

(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...
Convinced of owning Joe-Jack's soul, SatanicOstrich gave Joe-jack the chance for redemption. By reviewing Ricky Gervais' Ghost town, A romantic comedy with all the warmth and tenderness of a sledge-hammer to the love spuds! After reviewing a scene with an I.R.A Ghost, the Racist Alarm Made Eamonn become the writer for the remainder of this storyline.

So we meet Richard the Lawyer (Billy Campbell), the new man in Gwen's life. As expected the new man seems to be perfect in every way, Making Frankie bitch and moan. It's become apparent that when Frankie said "mind" his wife he meant "control".

So Richard is in fact a humanitarian Lawyer, who tries to recruit Pincus to go to Peru to give free dental care. Pincus being a rich asshole,flinches at the word "free". Gwen Mentions she needs to walk her puppy, which turns out to be a Great Dane.

Now where did I see that before?

Oh and in case i had to tell you,Only fools was funnier when they did it!

In a bar, Frankie is making rude gestures Over shoulder so Pincus tricks her into spilling some home truths about Frankie. She also reveals she knew about the affair he had before he died. Pincus reveals his disqualification from the human race for shoving is because of a broken heart.

Pincus feels that frankie is little more than jealous of Richard. To complicate things, Pincus is in love with Gwen. After finding out that Frankie is longer speaking to Pincus at a one-to-one basis, Every undead asshole starts bothering Pincus.
Turns out none of them died with Blackberry in their pockets. Richard arrives at Pincus' surgery. he tells him that he and Gwen had split up and she is going to Cairo. Frankie is delighted but wonders why he hasn't passed on.

Maybe it's because you are a jealous prick who didn't want your wife to move on with her own life that you purpoursely hook up the only man who can see or hear you up with your widow? DO YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON?

So Pncus give a present but when he calls her a pet-name Frankie use to call her, she gets suspicious. Pincus confesses and naturally Gwen does not believe him and resolves that he knew Frankie when he was alive. But Gwen gives Pincus the benefit of a doubt and asks Pincus to ask frankie a question only he knew. In case i haven't mentioned it Everyone who is dead is either an idiot or an asshole, Frankie gives Pincus the wrong answer,and makes gwen angry. Pincus asks why he did that. Frankie says he wont have his wife be with a selfish asshole, she was just married to one! Harsh.

So trying to het his colleague to write him a prescription to end it all, Bhaljeet finally calls out on Pincus' Prickish behaviour. So 1 by 1, Pincus helps every ghost pass on.

So lets end our suffering!
Gwen is convinced of Pincus' otherworldy powers before he is killed by a bus-despite standing all scene on a fucking PAVEMENT!, Richard revives him, Frankie crosses over and Pincus is no longer an asshole and considers the newly re-brotroed Gwen and Richard to be his closest friends.

THIS FILM SUCKS!
How could the critics for the Mail and Sun get it so wrong? While this is a concept that would work well with any other actor, they had to pick Gervais, Who Charector is Sexist, racist and not shy of questionable behaviour. Kinnear Charector of the heavy-drinking, adulterous Play-boy who wants to spend his after-life continuing to control his wife is no better. The premise's weight cracks into a huge plot-hole, Frankie's BlackBerry. We are told early that the dead appear in the clothes they died in and by proxy whatever was in their pockets at the time can be pulled out. While it was really product placement, Frankie mention that his blackberry had 4 BARS! Why he couldn't have went to voicemail with his apoligees, I will never know. Positives: Tea Leoni was magnetic in every scene emotional scene, But i don't think comedy is her strong point. and it was refreshing to see that the other man in a rom-com not a paper-thin villian.
Of course thanks to me being scarred by Leap Year, this film gets BBO'S First ever Rascist Alarm AUTOMATIC FAIL!
