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!

The film was very funny, the plot was heartwarming but the script felt a bit undercooked, the movie had a bit of trouble transitioning between heavy themes to a gag (I'm looking at you Chinese delivery) but apart from a few cringes I had a great time watching this. The cinematography was top notch too! Yup the Irish film scene.

Well, "Extra Ordinary" turned out to be more than I had hoped for. You might actually say that it actually lived up to its title - if you get my drift.

The storyline in "Extra Ordinary" was rather interesting, and it was laced with some nice funny moment. And the wonderful character gallery was definitely helping to bring the movie to its full potential. I enjoyed the story told in "Extra Ordinary" quite well, and it was a fun movie.

"Extra Ordinary" has some really nice acting performances by the likes of Maeve Higgins, Barry Ward and Will Forte. They were given very interesting and in-depth detailed characters to work with. And it was just glorious to watch them unfold on the screen. And it should be said that the character gallery definitely have some very memorable and lovable characters to display, which was something I really liked about the movie.

I will say that "Extra Ordinary", at the hands of directors Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman definitely delivered a wholehearted entertainment, and they managed to mix the comedy and horror elements quite well.

If you enjoy horror comedies, then you should not cheat yourself out of the experience of watching "Extra Ordinary", because the movie is definitely living up to its name, and it is quite well worth taking the time and effort to sit down and watch.

My rating of "Extra Ordinary" is a seven out of ten stars. I was initially going to settle it on a six out of ten, but actress Maeve Higgins was so fabulous in this movie that she managed to lift up the movie another star in its rating.

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

A sweet, good natured comedy about a psychic driving instructor called Rose who has a love hate relationship with her abilities and is followed around by a lone magpie which could be the spirit of her dead father (who was also a psychic). This Irish movie features requests for exorcisms, haunted rubbish bins, a washed up rock star who has a pact with the devil to sacrifice a virgin in order to resurrect his career, and lots of icky ectoplasm. Sure some of the jokes fall a little flat, but there's some superb Irish wit and attention to detail to be found here, the characters are all lovable and hilarious, making Extra Ordinary a delightful distraction.
