This was really entertaining! It pretty much mocks all the ghost hunting shows that have ever been on TV, past and present. Louis, played by Jon Heder, was hoping to join the cast of a "real" ghost hunting show called Ghost Getters, which was looking for a fan to fill an open spot in the cast. To land a part on the show, fans were asked to send in their best footage of something paranormal as an audition tape (by the way, the entire cast of the fake Ghost Getters show looks exactly like the original Ghost Hunters cast on SyFy). So Louis, a huge fan of everything Ghost Getters, assembles a team to go to a haunted barn to try to get footage for the show. It was all very silly, but the veteran actors in the cast made it fun to watch.

Not to be confused with the superior Ghost Team One (2013) this is a "Ghost" themed comedy, or is it?

Starring a bunch of actors on the downswing of their careers including Jon "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder, Justin "Better than being in something like this" Long, David "The Santa Claus" Krumholtz and Melonie Diaz it's quite alarmingly poor.

It tells the story of a man bored with his mundane life who dreams of being a professional ghost hunter. When an opportunity to join the premier ghost hunter show presents itself he forms a team to capture footage to prove himself.

So it's a comedy, the trouble is I don't think anyone told the writer. I think I could probably count half a dozen jokes in the 90 minute runtime, but on the flipside it isn't serious enough to be a straight movie. For this reason the tone is way off, and the cast don't do it any favors especially Heder who I've never seen the appeal of.

Want a comedy "Ghost Team" movie, watch Ghost Team One (2013). This is simply not a comedy.

The Good:

Justin Long

The Bad:

Not even remotely funny

Bland cast

Jon Header plays a guy boohooing over the fact that he owns a copy shop(Keyword owns, don't care how boring it is to own a copy shop) Then suddenly, an old man comes into the shop rambling about something but the only thing this guy picks up is that his house is haunted. Now he recruits his friends to check it out so he can make an audition tape to become a new cast member of the TV show Ghost Hunter.

It's an ensemble cast of once well known up and coming actors playing the worse group of underachievers America has to offer, going for the goal of the most superficial achievement America has to offer, a group of stoner like white boys trying to be on a reality show.

Maybe it would have been far funnier if the white boys were actually stoners, but this movie is just super corny. Jon Heder is corny, Justin long is really corny. The only one who really made me laugh was the guy who played Zak who gave me one big laugh, out of a movie good for only three big laughs.

Ghost Team did have a plot twist that was worthy of one of those three big laughs too, but the movie altogether is not funny and it quickly makes you loose interest because of how unfunny it is from the start.

One huge laugh at the end but the movie only gave me three when it should have given me more.
