"A Ghost Waits" has a great promise, where a lonely man meets a lonely ghost and they start to like each other very much. While there are some negatives, they don't really stop the film from being an enjoyable viewing once.
The story does start off a bit slow and dull, and frankly the "romance" between the handyman (paid to fix up an unoccupied home so others can move in) and the centuries-old pretty ghost happens way too fast and seems too contrived. A better ides would have had the man move in the home as the owner, so the relationship can grow over time. Here's it's just way too rushed.
The movie is also partially described as a "comedy," but I'm guessing that wasn't the initial case. There seems to be some instances that were intended to be serious, but they came off an unintentionally funny, so to play it safe, "comedy" was added to the film's basic description.
"A Ghost Awaits" is shot well given the budget, and the actors try their best and do a decent job, no worse than anyone in a major production really.
The ending is done well, but we're not really convinced as to why that had to be done, at least not yet. Again, way too much too soon in the relationship.
If this idea was done on a higher level, the film could have been much better. But for what it is, "A Ghost Awaits" is good, just more likely than not, something you won't view a second time.
