What is it

Warning: Spoilers
What is it.... A comedy?.... Or a drama....pick one. Instead of being one or the other, this ends up being a swing-and-miss by trying to be both. The beginning started out really wishy-washy, but had some funny lines. Even though it began with a funeral scene, you thought that maybe it would grow into an entertaining light hearted funny movie. From death comes rebirth and new life. This did not happen. It started to become more and more dramatic, whilst repeatedly trying to infuse more ill-timed humour here and there. The plot was so obvious about halfway through. The ghost was obviously connected to his own life somehow. Then, if it wasn't enough, the Doctor literally tells us, what the entire problem of the protagonist was---that he didn't grieve. Sometimes it's best to let the audience figure that stuff out by themselves. The movie wasn't serious enough to be a drama, nor was it funny enough to be a comedy. This leaves it in perpetual limbo, much like the existence of the ghost character.
