    • Goofs
      After Sam Griggs dies, a point is made that he can walk through walls and can't lift a tarp on the ship model because he is now a spirit. Yet later, just after his family discovers he has died, Sam holds onto the railing at the second story landing. They also sit in a chair or on the couch several times.

    Watch it for the cast

    I have to admit i was overly excited about seeing this because I loved the cast. I probably expected too much based on that alone. I think it is a charming film but pretty low on laughs.
