Deserves All The Praise!

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2013)

I enjoy ghost movies, and this one has to be one of the best.
I knew that Bruce Willis's character was going to turn out to be dead -- from the moment the kid announces that he can see ghosts. I thought that his character a bit one-dimensional, though. I'm not sure whether the acting or character development is to blame.
The movie is pretty good on the whole, but the amount of inexcusable gaping plot holes is ridiculous... such as:

How did he go one whole year without speaking to anyone or being acknowledged by anyone (except the little boy), and not figure out that something is wrong?

He lives with his wife, and... for a whole year, they manage to co-exist in the same household -- without interacting? Not believable.

So Bruce Willis is a ghost, so why can't he see other ghosts?

The boy knows that his "therapist" is a ghost, but he doesn't tell him, and he's not afraid of him the way he is of all the other ghosts.

How did he get assigned to treat that kid? Who'd hire a ghost? How did he collect his salary? How did he interact with the kid's Mom, and whom did he pass his assessments to?

How did a ghost manage to use audio tapes and a PC? We see that he writes and prints out reports. How is that possible for a ghost to do?

Basically, there are MANY a plot hole here...
But! It doesn't alter the fact that the movie is entertaining and enjoyable. The kid's acting was impeccable. I have never seen such outstanding performance by a child actor (or even a professional adult actor). I was very impressed.
I think the movie deserves the high rating. Definitely far superior to the lousy "Paranormal Activity" franchise. The latter is just a lame joke compared to this one.
