A lightweight romantic comedy that's harmless enough. I particularly liked Masterson - she's really the only standout here. The plot is pretty basic for what it is, except for one crucial element that I think should have been explored more. The relationship between Downey and Masterson is played largely for laughs - he's actually her father's soul in a different body, and she becomes attracted to him - but it brings up all sorts of serious issues that are never discussed. I know, I know, it's just a light comedy - and normally I could forgive something like this, but for some reason it really bothered me. I mean, even "Back to the Future" dealt with this situation in a more sophisticated way. Nevertheless, it's aesthetically watchable and not a complete waste of time if you're not expecting too much.
