Netflix Synopsis: Shortly after David Abbott (Mark Ruffalo) moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Mortenson (Reese Witherspoon), 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. Their quest for the truth ultimately leads to love in this spectral romantic comedy.

My Comments
From Marc Levy’s book If Only it Were True comes a cute romantic comedy. I really liked it and it had been enjoying it all the way until a rather slapstick scene near the end and a rather miraculous occurrence right after that. That said, I was suspending disbelief enough to belief that Reese Witherspoon’s character was appearing as a spirit, so why shouldn’t I buy into the rest? The ending was a little too abrupt and tied up too quickly though. That said a sweet and altogether satisfying movie with characters you couldn’t help but like. Any easy B rating and a fun way to spend a few hours of time.
