Ghostmates

The Smosh dudes pull another rabbit out of their funny hats! Ghostmates is the second Smosh feature film and they are consistently funny again!

The story is simple - Ed dies a goofy death and Charlie must help Ed achieve three goals before he can go to heaven. And the adventure begins! They meet two girls that are just superb carefree characters and loves follows. There is even a Bollywood takeoff in the story which is wonderfully done.

Watch it! It's worth every minute.

Writing more about the story will only ruin it for those who haven't seen it.

One of those goofy-humor, clichéd but still entertaining plot lines, sprinkled with bits of originality here and there. Self-absorbed Eddie fails his girlfriend, who leaves him. Eddie tries to go after her but gets trapped and dies a rather confusing death. Enter Charlie, the token socially-inept new guy who OF COURSE is the only one who can see dead people, or at least just Eddie. Eddie immediately falls into the trolling asshole ghost role before dropping the "if you help me move on I'll stop bothering you", and the race is on. Then we get the token ghost's-ex-girlfriend-who-doesn't-like-Charlie-at-first, although it doesn't end like we think it will. The humor is silly, some parts are predictable but there are some unexpectedly fresh takes in the plot. If you're a ghost story fan or just like this particular genre, it's not a complete waste of time.

This movie definitely fits into the new YouTube Red setting. Unlike their last movie which I will admit wasn't the best, this allows them to try and expand their options while staying with their YouTube fan base. Ian and Anthony definitely have the ability to become better actors and by doing this, I believe we will see a gigantic change within the next few movies (assuming they make more).

All in all, it was a good movie. Some of the parts dragged on a lot longer than they should have, and I did enjoy the small cameo of the Smosh crew. The story was pretty boring, but the comedy aspect was quite good.

Good movie, not great, but fairly good, it has occasionally awkward moments. It would be a great plane movie. It is not like Smosh videos, as it stars Charlie and Eddie not Ian and Anthony. If you hated Smosh: The Movie you'll like Ghostmates. If you loved Smosh:the Movie you'll still like Ghostmates. Some of the plot sucks, but most of it is good. Overall, not the best, but great to watch if you're bored.

I'll put this right out there, I'm no fan of SMOSH. I find their humor to be juvenile and very "youtube" oriented if such a concept exists. I get it that they're hip with the kids but that's probably only because they haven't built up much life experience yet and still think farts are funny. You know, they were funny when you were 7 and your humor hasn't evolved since then.

"Smosh: The Movie" was bad but I can still say that there was some effort put into it. I would assume it was their version of a 90 minute youtube video. But it's a masterpiece compared to this. This movie isn't just bad. It's lazy and if anything that's a lot worse than just being bad.

There's no effort put into this to craft a joke or make a good scene. It's just stuff happening for no reason. Some guy dies and starts acting like an asshole and trolling the only guy that can see him to force him to help the dead guy get to heaven. Yeah, nowhere in the history of cinema has that plot ever been used.

From what I've seen even diehard fans of Smosh hate this movie. And that's saying something.

This is by far one of the worst things I've ever seen and if this is what Youtube Red is all about then it's a failed experiment.
