La dame du manoir

I can't say that I didn't enjoy the movie. Premise of a household ghost only visible to one person and trains her to be "My Fair Lady" makes a good premise for eliciting laughter if done right. But this movie feels as if it is made for TV. Melanie Lynskey is awesome. She fills life to this otherwise normal movie. And Judy Greer did her part. Not that this movie is bad, but could've done better.

Anyways I had fun watching it.

Is the movie lame? Yes.

Did I enjoy the movie? Doubtfully yes. You can enjoy it as well if you can go through the first 20-25 mins of nonsense.

Do I recommend it? Yes, you might enjoy in parts.

When I read what this movie would be about I loved the idea and was almost certain I was going to at least like the movie.

I thought it would be a little like "Ghosts", the series from BBC One from 2019, which I enjoy a lot.

But then I watched it and struggled through it. You know when a certain style of comedy just isn't for you? That's exactly what happened.

I just cringed too many times. Too many moments of second hand embarrassment.

There are different ways of writing a "ne'er-do-well" main character but the way Hannah was written just didn't make me root for her. I also wasn't sold on the character. In my opinion she's unrealistically ignorant about the world and generally not a well written version of a gross, dumb and crass woman.

The acting was really good and I think the actors were well cast for this movie. The premise of a ne'er-do-well who becomes a tour guide in a historic estate and winds up befriending the manor's resident ghost could be a really good comedy movie in my opinion if only it was approached in a different way.

What I liked about it; the acting quality, the premise itself What I disliked about it; the type of humor, the writing.

They did the best they could with what they had I suppose, but the characters are so flat and 80's stereotyped.

The lead character is so unbelievably unlikable and idiotic. Her profound ignorance, desperation and apathy is painful to watch.

Her love interest, no, not the Dude Bro Douchebag (the answer to "What if a coke spoon were a person?), the Doormat, is pathetically spineless and reminiscent of a bedraggled puppy one finds abandoned in a soggy cardboard box in a Walmart parking lot on a rainy day.

I was looking for a comedy and only found it in the bloopers during the credits.

The whole movie is best summed up by Tanner Wadsworth's last line, which is offensive so I'll not repeat it here.

The 2021 comedy "Lady of the Manor" actually proved to be more enjoyable and entertaining than I had initially expected it to be.

The storyline told in "Lady of the Manor", as written by Christian Long and Justin Long, was actually rather enjoyable. This was the kind of story that just had a feel-good vibe to it, and it is one that puts the audience in a good mood too. So that was quite good. And it is a storyline that is easy to follow and has something to offer for audiences of all ages.

The movie does have an interesting cast ensemble, with Melanie Lynskey (playing Hannah) and Judy Greer (playing Lady Wadsworth) in the lead roles. The movie also have the likes of Justin Long, Luis Guzmán, Patrick Duffy and Ryan Phillippe on the cast list. And it should be said that the actors and actresses in the movie definitely put on good performances in bringing the character to life on the screen.

"Lady of the Manor" has a good amount of comedy to it, though it is not the type of comedy that will have you keeled over with tears streaking down your cheeks. The comedy was good and well-used to bolster the storyline.

If you enjoy a good old feel-good comedy, then "Lady of the Manor" is definitely well worth a viewing.

My rating of "Lady of the Manor" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Lady Of The Manor is a comedy so I expected to laugh when watching it. If I'm honest I did laugh with some scenes, quite a few ones, but the rest of the movie was sometimes a bit mediocre. I don't think Melanie Lynskey was the right person to play this role. There are some good names in the cast but I feel like there was better to do with this plot and cast. All in all the movie is worth a watch, there are funny passages and for that alone it was worth my time but it could have been better.
