...movies set more daunting agendas for their protagonists in limbo. In Bill Cosby's inane comedy Ghost Dad, the late Cos must close a business deal and get a physical so his family will have life insurance. Then he must convince his daughter, who has also entered the twilight zone, that "life is all there is." In response she utters the year's top supersloppy double dare: "I'll get back into my body if you'll get back in yours." Darned if he doesn't. Dad, you see, is not dead yet. But his movie...

Typical is Bonnie Figgatt, 38, of Madison, Conn., who works at home as a planning manager for the Travelers Cos., the corporate parent of the insurance and financial-services firm. Even though she must drive her 18-month-old son Thomas to a nearby baby-sitter every workday, Figgatt has more time for him in the morning and evening because she no longer has to commute 35 miles each way to company headquarters in Hartford. She finds her new life comparatively...
