REVIEW:
Been meaning to watch this for spooky season since it came out in 2023. Finally sat down and watched it with Hubby.
Kevin and his family have moved into a new house that needs some work. Lots of surprises await in this slightly run-down house...including a ghost named Ernest. Kevin, his family, and Ernest become overnight social media sensations when a video of Ernest is uploaded to the web. At the same time as juggling success, Ernest doesn't remember who he is and why he is haunting this house, so Kevin decides to help him out. With their growing popularity, the CIA reinstates the ghost department to hunt this ghost down and take him in....for science.
This was an interesting take on ghosts. It was fun. I don't want to spoil anything about the ghost and his powers/etc. But it was an interesting take.
This story had humor but it also had some deeper feels going on. I liked it. There was a splash of love between Kevin and the girl next door and that was cute. A little awkward though.
Speaking of awkward. There were some cringy and awkward scenes like Kevin singing to the ghost. Mm. Or the scene in the motel. Mmm. It didn't ruin the film, but it made me cringe a smidge.
Awwwww the scene at the end. I actually teared up a teeny, tiny bit. It was beautiful.
Overall, this was a fun film. Funny and some serious tones thrown in. There were some cringey scenes, but a beautiful ending. I'll give this 4 stars.
