I like to watch idiotic stuff while working so that I don't have to really pay attention. This movie was dumb fluff which was expected. Darby could see and assist dead people in crossing over. Her former child friend/high school nemesis dies and forces Darby to help. Darby is pushed out of her comfort zone and her life is turned upside down in the process. Character growth, yadda, yadda, yadda. Typical teen drama. That was fine. The thing that made me so angry was that Darby has these long term friendships with dead people. She lost her mom at a young age and never knew if her mom stayed around the mortal realm. Her mom shows up in the last few minutes of the movie before crossing over at the end. WHAT??? This woman could have been in her life for YEARS. Could have let her daughter know life was going to be okay, could have guided her along the way, told her she loved her. I ended up being so dang mad about a movie I didn't even really want to watch in the first place.
