* MeaningfulEcho: The first time Pincus needs Frank's help to prove to Gwen he can speak to her husband, she asks him to relay a reoccurring dream that he used to have when he was alive that he never described to anyone but her. Frank instead relays a false answer, telling him a generic nightmare about drowning, because he doesn't trust that Pincus will be a good boyfriend to Gwen. [[spoiler: Later, when Frank sees that Pincus genuinely loves Gwen and has [[CharacterDevelopment changed for the better]], Frank tells him what the dream really is. At the end, Pincus relays that the dream was about Frank walking in the woods as a boy with his father, only to lose his father and be unable to return home. When Gwen asks what became of Frank's ghost, Pincus soberly answers "He found his way home."]]

* HeelRealization: Frank spends almost the entire movie insisting that he wasn't that bad of a husband to Gwen, even though he cheated, and that her new fiancee, who is selfless and polite, must secretly be some kind of asshole. It's when Gwen pleadingly asks aloud why she wasn't enough for Frank that he went and cheated on her that he sees how badly he hurt her, and says that she wasn't the one who wasn't enough.

After suffering a near death experience during routine surgery, where he was technically dead for 7 minutes (a bit less), misanthropic dentist Bertram Pincus (Gervais) begins seeing the ghosts of people who died with unfinished business. When the ghosts realize that Pincus can see them, they begin following him around, asking for his help in crossing over. He, of course, does his best to ignore them all, but one ghost in particular finally gets his attention: Frank (Kinnear), who believes that if he can get Pincus to prevent his widow, Gwen (Leoni) from marrying a new guy that is completely wrong for her, he can finally cross over.
