Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It made about 28 times its budget, but middling reviews (54% on Rotten Tomatoes) held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics, anyone who wants a laugh and fantasy fans. If you loved The Purple Rose of Cairo, start here.
The mood
Darkly funny, romantic.

What might put you off
Rated PG-13: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.

Shortly after David Abbott moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Masterson, who asserts that the apartment is hers -- and promptly vanishes. When she starts appearing and disappearing at will, David thinks she's a ghost, while Elizabeth is convinced she's alive.
