know the plot - Sam and Molly are deeply in love. Sam gets murdered
and enters a hinterland between this world and the spirit world
(basically he is a ghost). The ghostly Sam finds he can communicate
with a severely overacting spiritualist (love and light), and
through the medium he is able to persuade Molly that she is in
danger. Most impressively Sam is able to help Molly to construct
a monumental piece of pottery, and at the same time help The Righteous
Brothers to be able to retire on the record publishing royalties
- which is nice. But sadly at the end of Sam must depart which
is very emotional for Molly (as she still had enough wet clay
left for about five large oriental vases and a couple of fruit
bowls).
Given
the frankly ridiculous plot, and some dodgy acting here and there
it is to the films credit that it still manages to be entertaining
in a kind of ok for a chick flick kind of way - and amazingly
even Whoopi Goldberg couldn't ruin this film.
