To say that this movie is classified as a romance would be insufficiently romantic. If it is classified as a suspense film, it is not thrilling enough. Classified as a comedy, it's a bit cold. In fact, I think the whole movie is still a bit nagging and cumbersome, and it lacks excitement.
Its highlight is that the film is oddly conceived, starting with the news discovery of a dead reporter's soul, and then, during the reconnaissance, intermittent appearances to give Sandra and Sid hints to advance the film's plot. Apparently a lot of Sid's nonsense was meant to add to the hilarity, but I couldn't appreciate it. At the end of the film, the director brought the extremely serious death into a humourous way.
