I tried watching it because everyone is praising this movie but I just felt like too many things were going on. As if they didn't have a story so they just crammed lots of things as a distraction.
And perhaps most importantly, I couldn't buy the main premise which would be that a guy is trying to escape the afterlife to work his dream job on Earth that he finally got. I mean, it is hard to believe that if someone was dead and discovered that there is a (nice?) afterlife they would want to go back to work no matter what the job was. Seriously, why bother?
And I gave up when the main character turned into a cat. But should I continue?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
