Ghostmates

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.

Honestly, this movie was okay, maybe a little less than average. The plot is tried-and-true, but it's not executed that well. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, well known for their YouTube channel Smosh, do a fair job of keeping the watcher watching the movie because of their chemistry that is brought over from their web series, but even that becomes a little bit shaky.

Anthony plays Charlie, a socially inept cartoonist who is currently jobless, and Ian plays Ed, a recently perished young man who is forever doomed to stay "earthbound" (that's a reference to an awesome show that I will not mention directly) until he makes right with all the people that he left with on bad terms. I find the similarities between these two characters and the characters that both Anthony and Ian play on Smosh, as Ian plays the guy who tries to goad Anthony into doing something that Anthony doesn't want to do.

Ian's character Ed has some quirks that can be found funny to the right person. He uses the word penultimately incorrectly which actually ends up being a good thing for everyone in the end.

Overall, this film is one of those where you can take it or leave it. It doesn't bring anything special or new to film, but you can still enjoy it for what it is.

Bad movie, didnt meet my expectationsbro :(( just a waste of time

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.

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.
