Bottom Line: It’s the feel-dead comedy of the year
By Michael Rechtshaffen

Toronto International Film Festival

TORONTO — In a sea of serious festival films, “Ghost Town” stands out like a beckoning beacon of welcome frivolity.

A notable change of pace for director and co-writer David Koepp, whose screenplays tend to run along the epic lines of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” “Spider-Man” and “War of the Worlds,” this lower-key effort offers up a winning mix of sharp comedy and touching bits that keeps the laughter — a few tears — flowing.

It follows a time-honored formula, to be sure, but with the hilariously sardonic Ricky Gervais on hand to keep the creeping pathos in check, you’ve got a spirited crowd-pleaser that’s destined to be one of the biggest comedy hits of the fall season.
In his first feature starring role, Gervais is comfortably spot-on as Bertram Pincus, a miserably misanthropic New York dentist (he doesn’t hate crowds, just “the individuals within them”) whose near-death experience during a routine hospital procedure leaves him with a newfound ability: He can see dead people. Lots of them — all wandering around the streets of Manhattan with unfinished business to address, and they’re turning to Dr. Pincus as their liaison to the living.

The most persistent among them is Greg Kinnear’s Frank Herlihy, a philandering jerk who badgers Pincus into busting up the serious relationship between his Egyptologist widow (Tea Leoni) and her new beau (Billy Campbell).

Tea Leoni has canceled all her commitments at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival so she can support her husband David Duchovny as he battles sex addiction.

The actor checked himself into rehab on Thursday after struggling to control his sexual urges.

There’s no suggestion he has cheated on his wife of 11 years.

And Leoni is supporting her husband by scaling down all of her planned promotional activity for Ghost Town, including scrapping her appearance at next month’s event in Canada.

David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction, his lawyer, Stanton “Larry” Stein, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” the actor says in an exclusive statement. “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Duchovny, 48, has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997. They have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.
