The Best Living and (Un)dead Movie Romances
Lisa Frankenstein is the latest in a canon of movies about love that bridges the worlds of life and death.
With V-Day and the release of Lisa Frankenstein(February 9) — a wicked new Diablo Cody ( Juno) comedy following a teenager entangled with a cute boy corpse — we’re retracing some of moviemaking’s greatest romances between the living and the dead. After a chance encounter with a budget-psychic storefront, Sam harasses the scamming clairvoyant, Oda Mae (Whoopi Goldberg, in an Oscar-winning turn), to help him talk beyond earthly boundaries and connect with Molly again. With light and dark comedy aplenty — from awkward run-ins with Elizabeth’s sister and a meat cleaver to black jokes about end-of-life decisions — Just Like Heaven is a whimsical celebration of finding love anew and fighting for it.
