Film ThreatBobby LePireMar 16, 2019
Those expecting that a movie about an occult sacrifice to ever become scary will be disappointed with Extra Ordinary. The filmmakers use the trappings of that kind of film for an all-out comedy. Thanks to its nonstop jokes, strong, likable characters, and marvelous cast the movie is hysterical. Read full review

EmpireAl HornerMar 30, 2020
The Conjuring by way of The Cornetto Trilogy, there’s little ordinary about Extra Ordinary – an unfalteringly funny, ectoplasm-drenched horror-comedy that deserves the cult status it’s destined for. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenMar 5, 2020
Like those cheeky genre-splicing comedies that came before it, the Ahern-Loughman collaboration doesn’t merely goose the boundary between charming and outrageous, it gleefully tramples it into oblivion. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSteve DavisMar 4, 2020
It’s a scrummy omelette of a movie, a dish that’s off the menu. The ingredients are unorthodox, but they come together in an uproarious way. As a Dubliner would say, it’s absolute gas. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMar 12, 2020
The breezy and cheeky Extra Ordinary (that’s how they’re spelling it and you’ll find out why if you check out the movie) is a romcom/possession movie with some of the biggest laughs in any film this year — and some pretty nasty and cool special effects as well. Read full review

There is a warmth to this film, an easy charm, that comes from a script aware of the genre conventions with which it’s experimenting and from a cast willing to jump headfirst into whatever surrealism is required. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleZaki HasanMar 4, 2020
Armed with wit and charm to spare, Extra Ordinary is joyful and creative and deserves to find an audience — in this world or the next. Read full review

Some jokes may dissipate quickly, but its unusual warmth lingers in the air like a friendly ghost. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergMar 5, 2020
While Extra Ordinary overextends its ghosts-are-blasé conceit, Higgins and Ward are appealing leads, and the movie has plenty of charming moments, such as Rose watching an episode of her dad for guidance. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyMar 16, 2019
Extra Ordinary is a kind of tea-cosy “Ghostbusters” that’s consistently funny in a pleasingly off-kilter way. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMar 15, 2019
A well-tuned vehicle for the comic charms of Irish stand-up Maeve Higgins. Read full review

Screen DailyWendy IdeMar 14, 2019
The humour is low key, repeatedly mining the juxtaposition of the supernatural and the banal; a likeable performance from Maeve Higgins is the picture’s driving force. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 4, 2020
Extra Ordinary is entirely too ordinary too much of the time. Read full review

Extra Ordinary is not always subtle, but most viewers will yield to its mystic charms. Read full review
