Just Like Heaven is a 2005 American romantic comedy fantasy film directed by Mark Waters, starring Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Heder. It is based on the 1999 French novel If Only It Were True (Et si c'était vrai...) by Marc Levy. Steven Spielberg obtained the rights to produce the film from the book. The film was released in the United States and Canada on September 16, 2005. It made $102.8 million at the box office on a budget of around $50 million. On a personal note, this is one of two romantic comedy movies that my future wife, Libby, really wanted me to watch while we were dating. The other one was A Walk to Remember. And here I am, like 9-10 years later, reviewing it. This should be fun!
