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.

Bertram Pincus is a dentist who hates dealing with people, thus being a dentist is for him, a great job, since you don't really have to listen to the people. He ends up going into hospital for a routine colonoscopy only to die and be revived whilst undergoing the procedure. Thus one of the most antisocial people ends up being able to see ghosts, whom he cannot get away from.
There is some great laughs provided by the hospital before and after Bertram's stay in hospital and plenty with him and his interactions with the ghosts. The only thing that I felt was a let down was that they had a couple of ghosts feature in the movie but not all of them had us seeing their message being passed on (which I would have liked).
I really did enjoy this movie as what is funnier than a highly antisocial man forced into social circumstances. Ricky Gervais does a great job as Bertram.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Josephine Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway) is a glamourous, seductive Brit who defrauds wealthy men. Penny Rust (Rebel Wilson) amasses wads of cash by ripping off her marks in neighbourhood bars. Despite their different methods, both are masters of the art of the fleece, so they con men that have wronged women. Wilson's talent for physicality and Hathaway's withering wit are a combustible combination as the pair of scammers pull out all the stops to swindle a naive tech billionaire, Thomas Westerburg (Alex Sharp) in this hilarious comedy.
