AKA "Boy Meets Ghost"
In a peaceful country town by the sea, lives a rambunctious, naughty boy named
Ichiro Hanada. While out with his best friend, Sota, riding his bike one day
(having run away from his house after yet another row with his mother),
Ichiro is hit by a truck. Awakening, he finds himself flying high above the
road, looking down on his body. There's also a strange girl flying with him,
whom, despite his protestations, drags him back down to earth instead of
allowing him to ascend to Heaven.
Turns out the girl is Seiko Katori, a ghost that only Ichiro can see, because
of his close brush with death. She needs help to clear up unfinished matters
that she couldn't reconcile before she died, and wants Ichiro's assistance.
The boy soon finds that Seiko isn't the only ghost he can see and talk to, as
shortly he encounters his recently-deceased old neighbor lady, Mrs. Yoshikawa,
who wants him to take care of her dog, and his best friend Sota's father's
ghost asks for Ichiro's help in getting a message to his still-grieving son.
And then another ghost appears, claiming to be Ichiro's 'real' father and try-
ing to alienate him from the man he's always known as Dad. As time goes on,
many facts are revealed as to the boy's family history, and just how some of
these ghosts figure into it...

I hadn't intended on watching this until I had finishd the Anime version, so I
could make comparisons between the two. But, as often happens, I couldn't
find a suitable English synopsis for the film, so I took the plunge and viewed
it first.
It was well-made, interesting, entertaining, funny and quite touching in
spots. The two Cuties were absolutely adorable and held my attention through-
out the 123-minute runtime. I have to say we were treated to more of Sota,
the 'Co-Star' Cutie than I would have imagined, and he was near head-explod-
ingly cute :love:
So, while I still have no comparison between the Anime and Live-Action
versions (because my so-called memory is so short that I can now remember
absolutely nothing about the Anime...), I *can* wholeheartedly recommend this
to everyone -- Go on and grab it, you'll love it :)
NOTE: The default audio track is set to the Taiwanese-Dubbed (Mandarin?), but
the film's original audio is Japanese. But it's a simple matter to switch it
before the dialogue begins.
