When I read what this movie would be about I loved the idea and was almost certain I was going to at least like the movie.
I thought it would be a little like "Ghosts", the series from BBC One from 2019, which I enjoy a lot.
But then I watched it and struggled through it. You know when a certain style of comedy just isn't for you? That's exactly what happened.
I just cringed too many times. Too many moments of second hand embarrassment.
There are different ways of writing a "ne'er-do-well" main character but the way Hannah was written just didn't make me root for her. I also wasn't sold on the character. In my opinion she's unrealistically ignorant about the world and generally not a well written version of a gross, dumb and crass woman.
The acting was really good and I think the actors were well cast for this movie. The premise of a ne'er-do-well who becomes a tour guide in a historic estate and winds up befriending the manor's resident ghost could be a really good comedy movie in my opinion if only it was approached in a different way.
What I liked about it; the acting quality, the premise itself What I disliked about it; the type of humor, the writing.
