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.

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.

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.

*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 thought this was a hoot! If you like campy humor, you;ll probably like it too.

The premise of the movie is pretty interesting and uncommon, and most jokes land well, but it all feels just... ok. There's nothing hilarious or what would make you roll laughing, a chuckle here and there. The plot goes exactly where you'd expect it to, almost no surprises. The acting is well, but all in all it's a very safe movie, although it does take some risks with a few gross and vulgar jokes, but they're all pretty tame and the risk seems pointless. A good film to kill a boring evening with, but nothing to write home about.

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!

Really charming and well told. Not particulary scary but I enjoyed it a lot. Fun to see something from Ireland, too.

It starts slow and noisy. But wait it gets slower and noisier. For that brave few that turned it off before it got really bad, I salute you.

You will need subtitles and the pause button to keep up with the dialog.

This is a mock exorcist, foreign produced, heavily accented, cheap shot, at old ghost movies. Some of the movies are even mentioned by name. The characters are too exaggerated. Even though they did not try to hide it the ending and most of the action are known before you get there.

Rose Dooly, the driving instructor (steering wheel on the wrong side of the car), Hides her secret talent as a manipulator of the paranormal. One day she meets Martin Martin (Barry Ward) and finds herself compelled to ignore her misgivings and help Martin Martin with his paranormal problem. But wait, evil abounds and may overcome Rose's helpful intentions.

You will find yourself rooting for the poor unfortunate who is gone astray Christian Winter (Will Forte). Nothing seems to go right for him but with our help in Kibitzing, there is a chance that he will prevail.

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.

While its heart's in the right place it stops beating far too often and only the occasional smirk resuscitates it back to life. If the reaper could scythe the melodramatic 'has been' and let his wife take the lead, a far better film would result.

There is something very off with the movie. it is 10% puns 60% awkward menial shots who contribute nothing to the plot(besides dragging it) and 30% exposition done in a very annoying way (usually in the form of a character explaining to another something they already know in a long winded way). Would have worked better probably if it was condensed in a fourth of the runtime

Saying something is droll and Irish is a 100% oxymoron. But Extra Ordinary is really special comedy coming from among others the fertile creative brain of its star Maeve Higgins. On this side of the pond no one will know from Higgins or any of the other cast members and that's a pity.

Higgins stars and had a hand in the writing owns and operates a driving school, but at one time she was a psychic in communication with the dead spirits. She gave that up because there were too many variables and unintended consequences to deal with.

But one of her customers for driving lessons has a bigger problem. His daughter is in suspended animation at the behest of the Prince of Darkness to be offered up as a virgin sacrifice.

The one who's made a deal with the devil is a former rock star, having that status because he was a one hit wonder. Now a C status celebrity he yearns for fame and an entourage. So he and old Scratch have struck a bargain for one virgin to be delivered at the appointed hour.

I have to say that Extra Ordinary drags a bit in the middle, but the last 20 minutes are excruciatingly funny, not to be missed.

If this deal can be worked, can the career of Milli Vanilli be revived?

A bit silly at parts, but overall an entertaining movie.

Christian (Will Forsythe): "Oh! Oh, the virgin! Claudia, what on God's green undergarments did you do! Now I shall have to procure another virgin!" (Bites finger hard for 10 seconds). "The virgin divination rod. Have you seen it?"

Claudia"Oh, the willy stick?"

This is a very funny horror/rom-com with an emphasis on comedy. The beginning quote leads to one of many hilarious sight-gags.

William Forsyth is Christian, failed rockstar and budding satanist, and Claudia O'Doherty is his hilariously nagging wife Claudia. Both are standouts and elevate the entire flick from what could be B-movie fare.

Derivative at times and the comedy is often laid on way too thick, the quote above should be your litmus test -- if it makes you laugh, watch it. If not (or possibly offends), avoid.

Makes a change from everything else out there... Quite unique and lots of fun

Quirky comedy feels like an attempt to channel a combination of 'Shaun Of The Dead' & 'What We Do In The Shadows'. And while not without its own unique charm & fun sense of humour, the script is a little light & a tad rushed.

Meh, I don't know why this has a 7/10 from critics. It's okay if you're super bored and like ghost films, but it was a one and done movie for me.

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.

Extra Ordinary is a story about a Rose Dooley (Maeve Higgins), a driving instructor with a previous life as ghost hunter, along with her dad who she was involved in killing, but we're not immediately told why. She ends up teaming with Martin Martin (Barry Ward), father to a possessed daughter and husband to a dead wife who haunts him, but in more of a nagging than a scary way.

It's a movie that has a charm about it. It's a movie that you root for, if that makes sense. There are a few funny scenes, such as an homage to a scene in the Exorcist that got a true LOL from me. But ultimately, there just weren't enough. Some scenes got chuckles, others got smiles, but too many just didn't work. Will Forte plays the villain Christian Winter, but unfortunately most of his scenes just didn't work. Claudia O'Doherty, who played the character of his wife Claudia Winter was funnier and the movie should have used her more.

So, I'm left with a bit of a quandary. I know some will love the charm of this movie, and for them, it's probably an 8. For me though, it's ultimately a 6.

Lovely camerawork, tone, effects, soundtrack. A bit caricatured portrayal of The Winters. which was probably intended so we can gloat.

Nice it started with a VHS video of the paranormal (sets tone right and an accurate component of this industry). I smirked a bit.

"Uproariously hilarious" it is not. With that I couldn't watch this again although it did have a good ending.

This would've made me bellylaugh if plot skipped all the personal tragedies which dwelled at almost 2/3 of the movie. Material could prolly be best as a weird, zany experiment like Hausu (1977).

I suppose it's easier to laugh when characters seems quite naturally "programmed" to be incorrect. Maybe harder if they're (still) grieving & coping ?

This oddball supernatural comedy is genuinely soaked in charm, a homegrown and subtly absurd mix of genre tropes and sly satire. 'Extra Ordinary (2019)' is great fun, providing plenty of laughs and a few genuinely unexpected moments along the way. Its central dynamic is satisfying, too. Of course, it's absolutely ridiculous. That's part of why it works so well, though. It knows how silly it is, playing with irreverently over-the-top tomfoolery as well as some less obvious situational stuff. It's usually the latter that elicits the most laughter, but there aren't many jokes that fall totally flat (even if they're not all chuckle-worthy). Though the piece isn't especially complex, overly exciting or massively affecting, it's an enjoyable and affable adventure that's actually rather unique. 7/10
