Referring to this as a Scooby Doo wanna be is insulting to Scooby Doo...but very correct in what played out honestly.
Better to call this Scooby Doo wanna-be's and the Mystery of the Noises at the Farm. That would have been a better and more honest title and that would have moderated my expectation more.
Great to see Amy Sedaris still working and I wonder if the film being local to New York had anything to do with that. The local outdoor traveling scenes were gorgeous. It was good to see Paul D from Broad City fame in the film also but I'm not into awkward humor or movies that deliver a different movie than indicated.
I was expecting a ghost/funny/horror film from the title and the bait was switched. Resulting in a movie I cared little about. Character development? Romantic tension? Potential abuse of power to curry romantic interest? Bullying portrayed as comedy? Questionable end story conclusions about decisions character made to move this story forward? This movie had those issues, tensions, and plotholes and after the reveal I could care less what happened to the team outside of not wanting to see them expire. And Sedaris's schtick that saves the day? Potentially original in some sense but very underwhelming and uninspired as it was a repeat ploy. And the character reveals outside of the new potential police officer elicited a very "Meh" reaction from me. If you are into a human relations movie then have at it as this is about the formation of a team. It you are looking for anything related to Ghost pass this by.
That team can form for more zany adventures on other weekends, I'll skip any more adventures.
I wrote and earlier review that did not get posted so posting this again.
