This movie is terrible -- and it's so long!

There are times when We Have a Ghost is too corny for its own good, and the reveal about what happened to Ernest is kind of out of left field. Still, the cast is wonderful, the laughs are frequent, and the ending is truly touching.

Movies like this live or die based on our emotional investment in the relationships at their core, and Landon just isn’t able to conjure up a father-son dynamic (or a kid-ghost dynamic) that’s compelling enough to power the story.

For young adults who may not be able to see R-rated content, "We Have a Ghost" might feel like an edgy comedy, and I'd say it's a decent weekend streaming watch.
