What we do for love.

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2002)

Wonderful. Very exceptional romance flick with a flare of comedy. A man (Patrick Swayze)is accidentally shot and killed during a mugging. His spirit does not go to the 'here after', but remains on earth in the form of a ghost to protect his girlfriend(Demi Moore). The eye contact between these two speak the language of love. The atmosphere is enhanced with bits and pieces of the song "Unchained Melody". And when it comes time and you first hear the sounds of the Righteous Brothers singing one of their trademark hits...there is not a dry eye in the house. To this day, every time I here this beautiful classic I think of GHOST and the power of love.

I am not a fan of Whoopi Goldberg, but have to say she was great as the spiritualist Oda Mae Brown. Also in the cast are Tony Goldwyn and Susan Breslau. Highly recommended as a first date movie. Bring plenty of hankies. Be prepared to fall back in love with love.
