Jess Porter (Aisha Dee) is a committed feminist and getting nowhere. She goes on a first date with Ben (Kendrick Sampson). After a great date, she dies in a car crash. Ben assumes that she is ghosting him when she doesn't reply his text. Her spiritualist roommate and best friend Kara (Kimiko Glenn) seems to be the only who can see her spirit until they run into Ben and his sister. Ben can also see her.
The title is stupid and I assumed this to be a stupid movie. The premise is a little out there but not as stupid as I expected. Even better, the characters are not stupid and the actors are endearing. The lead couple has great sweetness and I really like Kara. A spiritually inclined character is often played as clueless but she's not. That's refreshing and I also really like her. I like the premise, the characters, and the actors. The drawback is that the story has no tension. While the romance is really nice, the only drama is that one of them is dead and that's not generating any tension. It needs a hurdle or some sort of obstacle. The Big Love idea is too nebulous. It probably needs an angel to appear to Jess to explain a few things and lay out a quest. There could still be a mistaken assumption but at least, there would be an end point to the journey.
