Ghost Team

Jon Header plays a guy boohooing over the fact that he owns a copy shop(Keyword owns, don't care how boring it is to own a copy shop) Then suddenly, an old man comes into the shop rambling about something but the only thing this guy picks up is that his house is haunted. Now he recruits his friends to check it out so he can make an audition tape to become a new cast member of the TV show Ghost Hunter.

It's an ensemble cast of once well known up and coming actors playing the worse group of underachievers America has to offer, going for the goal of the most superficial achievement America has to offer, a group of stoner like white boys trying to be on a reality show.

Maybe it would have been far funnier if the white boys were actually stoners, but this movie is just super corny. Jon Heder is corny, Justin long is really corny. The only one who really made me laugh was the guy who played Zak who gave me one big laugh, out of a movie good for only three big laughs.

Ghost Team did have a plot twist that was worthy of one of those three big laughs too, but the movie altogether is not funny and it quickly makes you loose interest because of how unfunny it is from the start.

One huge laugh at the end but the movie only gave me three when it should have given me more.

I think people tend to rate indie films lower on principle, which is entirely unfair, particularly in this case. This movie had a lot of heart and pathos along with an abundance of charm and goofiness. A scene with the incomparable Amy Sedaris using her psychic abilities in a tense situation had me rolling. Another element worth mentioning is the score by Joe Hastings, which brought a fun flavor to the film.

The cast had wonderful chemistry, which isn't always a given even when favorite comedians gather. I found myself rooting for them, enjoying their kooky behavior and passion for their geeky endeavors, and wishing there could be a sequel.

Great cast fun movie. Worth a watch .Really enjoy the storyline and seeing Justin Long is always great .

I was not expecting much at all from this movie, but was pleasantly surprised. This movie did not make me burst out laughing or fall out of my seat in terror, but it kept me thoroughly engaged for the full duration. It may be feel mildly warm, happy, and sometimes anxious.

I was left with the feeling that this movie was exactly as it was meant to be, a throwback to cheesy horror of the nineties, with a lot of heart. If you've never been on a lame ghost hunt with your friends before, you may not get it. But for those of us who remember poking around in attics, researching old houses on microfilm at the library, ouija boards and candles, and just getting plain scared with your friends, then you will understand this movie, even if the characters are a little old for that stuff.

This movie never attempts to fall back on lame jokes to force a laugh, like the Seth Rogan over-used brand of weed and butt one- liners. It could have but didn't, and I was so appreciative of that.

5 stars for not being a movie for which I would have to make fun of my boyfriend for thinking it was a good idea to watch on a date. 1 star for characters who never become disassociated killers, even under stress. 1 star for the laid back and realistic ending.

So, I saw this movie on Netflix today, and while I was checking an actor on IMDb I noticed the low rating, which had me worried... but by the end of the film I was utterly dumbfounded BY that low rating. This movie was so enjoyable! At no point did I think to myself "Oh, I didn't like that."

This was not a comedy that got a lot of big laughs from me- but I was always smiling. It wasn't a big show of making me laugh, it just made me enjoy it. I loved the casual jokes from Stan, I loved the way everything tied together so well, I loved the weird and quirky ensemble and I loved how LONG the set up was and how I really got to get involved with every character by the time the danger set in. And on that note, I noticed something I hadn't in a long time- genuine concern for a characters safety! In an odd, roundabout way, it did something so many horror movies have spectacularly failed to do. Because the characters made me laugh, made me happy, I had an emotional connection to them, and I was WORRIED they might die! When I watch a horror movie, I'm generally so uninvested in the characters I forget which ones HAVE already died.

This movie had good, smart humour with likable characters and a fun and interesting premise. I liked every second of it, it never felt too much or too little. It was a damn good movie and I would 100% see a sequel.
