'Ghost Town (2006)' starts out quite cringeworthy, especially considering Gervais' initially grating, typically sarcastic persona. It's also never really funny, often hopping from the broadest of the broad (including 'fart jokes') to more subtle and successful fare in mere moments. Eventually, however, the film reveals its heart and the somewhat soppy, generally generic but ultimately appreciated messages within, which makes for an overall experience that's surprisingly sweet and pleasantly watchable (thanks, in no small part, to the effortlessly likeable Greg Kinnear). 6/10
