Girl Haunts Boy

I enjoyed the premise of the story but some aspects in the movie made me think the producers didn't quite get things right. For example, since when does a century old female ghost wear white nail polish? At different scenes she doesn't have nail polish though. Also, a national museum at night would not have the front door open and without a guard making it really easy to break in. Little things like that just makes me question the lack of attention to details. Yeah yeah I know it's a petty little thing, but things like that should matter when you're filming a movie. Authenticity matters to make the experience more fluid.

Wow, what a beautiful movie with an original story! I think Peyton List and Michael Cimino were perfect casting and acted so well together. The story was so hauntingly beautiful even though it was sometimes sad. The music was also really well done and I loved the original songs, wish i could find them on Spotify or Apple music. The only reason I only gave this movie nine stars instead of ten is because while I understand why the movie ended the way it did and I thought it was a great ending, the romantic in me would have loved a different ending even more! I really do think this story has a wonderful message though so really the current ending perfectly serves that message. I definitely recommend watching it.

As someone who usually steers clear of romance movies, Girl Haunts Boy took me by complete surprise. It's not your typical love story-it's an enchanting mix of humor, heartfelt emotion, and an irresistible touch of the supernatural. The film struck a rare balance between being adorably fresh and deeply emotional, keeping me glued to the screen the entire time.

The chemistry between the two leads was simply magical. Their dynamic felt so genuine and natural that I couldn't help but root for them. From their witty banter to the quiet, tender moments, their connection completely drew me in.

What really sets Girl Haunts Boy apart is its unique tone. While the movie is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and quirky charm, there's an underlying sadness that tugs at your heartstrings. Somehow, though, it never feels heavy-it's more of a bittersweet, uplifting sadness. I cried so much, but I with a happy, full heart.

If you're looking for a romance that feels fresh, funny, and deeply touching, Girl Haunts Boy is a must-watch. Even if romance isn't your usual genre (like me), this film might just surprise you. It's a beautiful reminder that love, in all its forms, can be hauntingly unforgettable.

A sweet ghost story that slows down the pace and provides a touching theme of cherishing memories while still living in the present to the fullest. The acting and direction managed to evoke strong emotional responses which may be unexpected by viewers who thought they were hardened against sentimentality. Not for those looking for fast paced thrills. Almost gave up on it thinking it was dull but glad to stick with it for a good cry. The sci-fi time period disparity was handled quite nicely and the entire story was rendered very tastefully. It was a pleasure to be entertained without hearing the Lord's name used in vain or seeing anybody get shot or stabbed. A family film that provides a recreational retreat experience from which you come out refreshed and entertained. Its a good thing that such a selection is still available in the movie database.

It is a sweet story with moments that are pretty good.

Unfortunately, between those moments it also has some really slow sections.

It has some fun and it has some real heart, but it also felt like it was about 20 minutes too long. They could have streamlined it a fair amount or added another character or two for him to interact with. More Lydia would have been great and perhaps another new 'friend' that would keep finding him appearing to talk to himself or even a sidekick for Lydia.

While the main characters generally did fine, they just weren't always enough to carry it through so long mostly by themselves. The fun, more lighthearted scenes were great; but the chemistry between the leads and the stronger emotional sections were where they struggled. Those sometimes felt forced. A couple good side characters could have easily distracted from much of that.

There were a fair amount of plot holes and overly convenient moments. Someone shouldn't be completely oblivious to the changes in the world when they can see out windows, front doors to museums aren't usually unlocked and unguarded after hours, if they can see and hear people living in the house over the years it would seem they would pick up slang and exclusive, high end parties aren't generally things that are super easy to just walk into unnoticed, especially out of costume. Like so many movies, it felt like just a bit more time spent on fine tuning the script could have made a big difference.
