Elizabeth Masterson (Reese Witherspoon) is a successful young doctor who works extremely long hours.  Her hard work has paid off and she has finally gotten the promotion she had been seeking.  On her way home, tragedy strikes when her car is hit by a large truck.

Meanwhile, David Abbott (Mark Ruffalo) has recently moved to San Francisco and is looking for a place to stay.  His realtor shows him several apartments which all seem unsuitable.  By chance he comes across an ideal apartment with a fantastic view and decides to rent it.  He moves in but it soon becomes clear that he is not alone...

Based in San Francisco Just Like Heaven boasts some beautiful scenery and spectacular views from the apartment that David moves into.  The movie is a sweet romantic comedy that has a similar theme to that of Ghost (1990).  It is extremely funny at times and yet there is a good balance with romance, and you might well find yourself a little tearful at some of the later moving scenes.  However, some might find these parts slightly over sentimental.  Without giving too much away, there is a slight twist in the story which keeps things interesting.
