Ghost Town

Usually, the mere utterance of David Koepp would make me sling my computer at a horde of innocent puppies, or something crazily senseless like that, but lawd did this movie make me laugh. [Anyone who's seen the Koepp (who knows how that's pronounced) penned Indy 4 or War of the Worlds (who knows why Spielberg keeps hiring this idiot) relates to this urge to destroy when he's mentioned]

There's nothing particularly mentionable about the predictable, formulaic, Hollywoodesque plot and characters of the film- that goes without saying doesn't it? You've seen the trailer. The thing is, if you cast Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni, Greg Kinnear, and especially Ricky, then you have a very funny movie.

It's that simple.
