Storyline
Martin (deceased) is stuck in a dead-end job, welcoming the newly departed into the afterlife. All he dreams of is going 'Up There'. But his plans are thrown into disarray when he has to team up with the relentlessly chirpy Rash and together they lose a new arrival. The mismatched pair give chase and end up in a remote seaside town populated by cocky teenagers, sinister old women and the enigmatic Liz, who has 'suicide written all over her'. Can they stop bickering long enough to find the lost soul? Will Rash be reunited with his brother Chunky? And can Martin get back in time to finally get 'Up There'? UP THERE is a killer comedy about life, death and irritating friends. Written by Anonymous

Beautifully acted, nice story that looks sympathetically at people and asks a few questions that it lets you answer, if you wish. It is also beautifully shot with nicely framed views of the sea and ordinary lives. Draws you in to its pace and little world. Much as I like "Knight and Day" (and I do), watch this rather than a second viewing of that.
