Extra Ordinary - Geisterjagd für Anfänger

*NON-SPOILER*

I'm not exactly sure why, but when I seen the cover of this film, I genuinely thought it wouldn't be that great. The comedy in the film is excellent; snappy and quite dry which is perfect for me. The Irish always seem to pull dry wit off and very well at that! The storyline is intriguing and humourous, although far from serious, which is perfect for what the film is aiming to achieve. I would certainly watch it again, so, it just goes to show that you don't judge a book (or in this instance, a film) by its cover!

I cannot believe that the first review I see says this was boring... not at all... A black comedy Irish in its soul! Very entertaining!

Loved this fun frolic. Perfectly entertaining comedy with brilliant characters & plot. Excellent way to celebrate 94:21 minutes. Do yourself a favor & watch this romp.

Rose (Maeve Higgins) has given up her calling as a psychic after a terrible accident and is making her living as a driving instructor in rural Ireland. Martin (Barry Ward) is a widower with a troublesome ghost of a wife and an increasingly sassy daughter, Sarah (Emma Coleman). When he asks Rose for her help exorcising the ghost, she at first refuses, but then a well past his prime rock star (Will Forte) decides he needs the blood of a virgin to renew his vows to Satan in order to revitalize his long-dormant career, and Sarah is just who he's looking for; or is she?.... This is a very funny movie about ghosts, lost hopes, redemption and everything in-between; Forte is hilarious as the over-the-top Christian Winter, but it's Ms. Higgins who carries the film with humour, grace and rather an alarming amount of moxie. Throw in some sight gags referencing other horror movies along with just out-there craziness (deer head crying tears of 7-Up - "it's Mummy, she always loved 7Up!"), and this is a film that should get a wide audience everywhere. Extraordinary, indeed.

What a naturally funny, hilarious romp. Strong characters all round. Very enjoyable.
