I'd like to take this time to state my appreciation for Mr. Peter Jackson! The guy's a fuckin' genius-of-sorts that anyone would be proud to work with! Even the ever obnoxious Michael J. Fox! In this little romp through wackiness, Fox plays a paranormal (ghost stuff) con man who can see and communicate with the souls of the dead (who apparently hate lawn gnomes) due to a near death experience he suffered as a child. It looks like my bitch, the "Grim" Reaper, is goin' corpse crazy in some small town, and Mikey wants to put a stop to it because he's gettin' blamed for everything! Fat chance! Well, the "grim" one is actually just some serial killer trying to break Hell's record for kills by wasting people from beyond the grave. After Fox and his new "lady friend" fight the killer and his flesh-and-blood psycho bitch (and Jeffrey Combs!) they send the nutcases on a honeymoon in Hell! Combs (who does a great job as the FBI agent who's, "a road map of pain" and has hemorrhoids), as always, bites the big apple as does Fox. But, Fox gets sent back to Earth so everyone can be happy in the end. Yay. This big budget flick lacked much of the over-the-top antics of his usual movies, but it still delivered some good stuff! I especially enjoyed the drill sergeant from "Full Metal Jacket" as the over hyperactive General, as well as the guys who played Fox's dead buddies/employees! Fun for almost everyone!

Sequels: None

If You Liked This Flick, Check Out: Peter Jackson's other flicks, like DEAD ALIVE and BAD TASTE, though they're far more corny and alot gorier.
