Here we have something odd. A ghost story but not a horror movie. Not quite a comedy, but far too lighthearted (and innocently goofy) to ever be meant to be taken seriously. Definitely has a certain charm, which it needs to, because that’s the only way a story this dumb could ever fly.
A likeable but goofy guy, first seen on a string of comedically terrible dates, gets a job at a hotel which turns out to have a haunted room. The staff has adapted their routine around it and are matter-of-fact about it. Mr Goof has to see it himself, and, after a few scary encounters, bonds emotionally with the ghost and becomes determined to help find the lover who jilted her and caused her to kill herself in the room and bring him back. Eventually things get even sillier and more unbelievable, but… the whole thing is kind of weirdly charming. It’s not a great movie, not even a very good one—it’s got 5/10 stars on IMDB and that’s probably about right—but they kind of pull of what they seemed to be intending to. It was fun, it kind of just slips over the line into watchable if there’s nothing else compelling on, and just weird enough to slip over the line into maybe kind of memorable. By all rights, this should have been an incredibly stupid movie with nothing redeemable about it, and but it somehow kind of beat the odds.
