Lady of the Manor

Rented because Rachel Ray said she laughed a million times....must of been every time they said a four letter word....if you like four letter words to make a movie then this is for you...other than that a waste of time.

This movie is really intriguing.

On one hand, it has great performances from seasoned actors like Melanie Lynskey that has great comedic timing since Two and an Half Men, and Justin Long and Judy Greer that are always great.

It also has laugh out loud moments and a very classic and endearing plot.

But on the other hand, the production values are at amateur level. The sound, photography and costumes look like taken from a school production.

The editing lacks pace, and the script is not tight enough and it falters several times.

I have no idea how this movie was produced, but it could have been absolutely great given a few more script revisions, more production values and a much better crew behind the camera.

As is, it is a good time. And if after watching the trailer you have dismissed it as a low budget misfire, I recommend you to give it a chance. The end result is much better than anyone could have expected from the promotional material.

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.

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.

This movie was a VERY SILLY and Goofy story, but I love Melanie, Judy, Justin and all the rest of this cast together. They are just Silly Fun together and seems like they probably had a great time working on this movie.

Judy did slip out of her Southern accent quite a bit, but I didn't care, she was adorable. And Melanie was just hilarious as a slacker trying to learn to be a lady. :D Is it Oscar worthy? NO! Is it for young kids? NO! (Has a lot of F-bombs) But is it stupid funny and worth a watch? Yes, if you like silly comedies. And/or are a fan of Melanie, Judy or Justin. :)
