It’s a Ghost Town for an old Office mate

Ricky Gervais is a guy America needs to appreciate. Even if you prefer the Steve Carell-led American remake to his British version of The Office, tracking down Gervais’ hilarious Extras clip featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin is doing yourself a favor. The comedian returns to U.S. movie screens this Friday with Ghost Town, which basically takes Demi Moore’s Ghost and adds the Town, and hopefully a lot of laughs. Gervais is not a people person, yet after a near-death experience he is haunted by specters who all want favors from him, including a lovelorn Greg Kinnear. Man, the dead can be so needy. Rated PG-13.
