When I was searching Amazon Prime's list of horrors, this title came up, so I gave it a watch. It was catagorised both a horror, and a comedy. The horror, I don't see, but where the comedy is, is really beyond me.
The main motivation for the story is for our protagonist, a 30 something year old college student, to have sex with someone who wasn't interested in him, after having been killed. He's going to heaven, but put it on hold just for someone he celarly doesn't care about, merely just for one last time to sleep with someone. You'd think they'd build a relation between the two, and get the girl in the end, but she drops out to get replaced with another woman.
Did I mention he's a ghost, who can go invisible at a moment's notice?
I'm giving the information about this movie all over the place because it reflects what the movie does. Characters get introduced in one scene, aren't seen for another half hour, meanwhile, our main character buggers around oggling at norks. Yet he doesn't use this power when he gets caught speeding/stealing a car, and is sent to prison. Even Invisible Dad got this one right!
Every trope of a frat movie is on display, yet this film is unique in them all having no pay off, from having changed the importance of any character whose involved. Honestly, I can't think who this would appeal to, as even folk desperate to see cleavage will get such a joy only briefly, and anyone expecting jokes can also be disappointed, as it is as dull as the job that any other 37 year-olds job would be doing if they weren't starring in School Spirit. It is mainly all set up, leading to...nothing.
Larry Linville is in it though as a sleazy Brooklyn uncle, so it gets another star for that.
