I love the two (living) lead adults. (I love SG-1 and Eureka.)
After the premise was firmly established including the contest, the rest of the movie was totally predictable with the minor exception of how the obvious conflict was resolved - little bit of a surprise there.
Some transitions totally ignored what came before, for example the classroom confrontation moved past the professional counselor issue without resolving it and at least one more thing toward the end.
I'm not a fan of ghost lover movies. To make it worse, she went from a tearful goodbye to her ghost husband right into devoting her life to a new man whom she wasn't even considering until then.
Even beyond the token everyone-lives-HEA (happily ever after) aspect, the movie was a fairy tale in the sense of these things just don't happen (and I mean more than the ghost aspect).
Apart from not liking the story development, the last portion of the movie, from the big announcement on, was horribly done. It wasn't so much the acting as just the way all the HEA was laid on too thick and with too much melodrama. Come on, do we really need to drag out the hockey game, or for that matter even have it?
I feel bad for Jamie Ray Newman and Michael Shanks because they did their best and made the movie almost worth watching.
