With its screwy supernatural premise — buoyed by terrific cast that includes Anthony Mackie, Jennifer Coolidge, David Harbour and Tig Notaro — the movie is a charmer with heart.
Even as We Have a Ghost sags in places, it never completely fades into the dull background of Netflix originals of late. We may not have an outright winner, but we do have a decent diversion.

This movie was fantastic!
It was funny, heartwarming, thought-provoking, and had a lovely cast that made for a thoroughly entertaining movie experience!
Jennifer Coolidge in the role of a medium adds an extra funny scene that gives the ghost a bit of edginess that is previously unseen. There are a lot of unexpected moments that make it a combination of genres and themes that somehow work together perfectly to create a comedy title that pulls on several tropes that are known to terrify, but I think that's what makes it such an effective delivery. Not a spoof so much, but definitely had similar feelings as the 90s "Casper," with Devon Sawa and Christina Ricci.I loved this!

We Have a Ghost is a mostly bland movie, elevated by a few good performances and an intriguing premise that doesn’t go as far as it seems like it should.
We Have a Ghost can't escape its overstuffed nature, and that hampers the entire experience.
The result is an exhausting and ungainly mish-mash of a movie that pretends to have something to say but doesn’t really. Similarly, it doesn’t know what it wants to be or — consequently — who its audience is.
Rarely ha-ha funny and never scary, it’s ultimately more sentimental than anything else — a clunky approach that undermines its strong performances.
We Have a Ghost tries to add too many elements to the mix–the horror, the comedy, the drama, and the message about how we need to leave our dead behind. Without committing to a tone, it all feels a bit mangled. It’s a movie that wants to be a mix of everything but, in the end, winds up being nothing.
I was surprisingly engaged with this film. The opening is excellent and really sets the spooky and humorous tone. The production value is excellent, the VFX are really convincing. The main characters are what carries the film. They are so well acted and so well written that you don’t doubt their actions for a moment. The two main teenagers are charming and deep. Ernest the ghost is especially enigmatic and considering he doesn’t speak this is very impressive and a testament to the fantastic acting and stellar directing. But not everything is great. The rest of the cast are not as memorable. The pacing is uneven, there are some sections that just go on too long with not much happening. It’s not the most memorable or iconic film overall, there are flashes of unforgettable but most only good. And that’s about it for the negative. So overall it is very enjoyable and worth watching.

O título brasileiro desta produção da Neftlix é "Fantasma e Cia", com um roteiro cheio de furos, em que você precisa ter muita disposição (já que os adultos estão bem debiloides aqui), porém com muita diversão.
A família se muda para um caseirão (eu já perdi as contas de quantos enredos começam assim) e descobrem um fantasma no sótão. A grande sacada aqui é que o filme brinca com a questão midiática das redes sociais, e a família acaba viralizando diversos vídeos com o fantasma, o que causa movimentação até dos programas de entretenimento às forças de segurança.
Os pais do Kevin são mais receptivos a ideia de faturar em cima do achado, assim como o irmão marombeiro e blogueiro. Já o garoto consegue ultrapassar outras camadas, ajudando o fantasma com as relações passadas para que ele pudesse enfim se libertar para o mundo do além (e com isso secar a fonte da família).
Há uma enxurrada de personagens estereotipados, como a figura da pesquisadora de fantasma (asquerosa e muito mal concebida). Ao menos o garoto que faz o Kevin, Jahi Di'Allo Winston, é um achado, consegue segurar o drama do filme e impor um ar de seriedade que equilibra com o humor pastelão e o circo em torno da figura fantasmagórica. O fantasma em si é meio gore, mas com o seu passado sendo revelado no filme, tudo faz sentido.
Ainda há a amiga do Kevin que faz muito bem o papel de amiga nerd para ajudá-lo, mas aí entra também uma ajudinha dos roteiristas, como na cena em que fogem ela, Kevin e o fantasma pelas ruas, difícil crer que conseguiram se safar mesmo com a multidão em volta, até mesmo na perseguição do Aladim era mais crível.
De todo o modo, é um filme para se ver sem muitas pretensões, tem algumas piadas, mas nada que estrague o prazer de assistir algo leve com a família, apesar de um pouco de violência pelo final. É um bom passatempo, mas completamente esquecível.

The movie is mostly fun. No deep psychological moments but nice to see Dad and son overcome their rough spots. Brother and Mom aren't of much use. Has it's usual modern bigoted structure. We rate it "Didn't turn it off but wouldn't watch it a second time."

This is all over the map. Its kind of presented as a family comedy but the action scenes, deaths, and sudden darker scenes don't go with the vibe at all. Also Tig Notaro turned good why????
Very stupid from start to finish. I also don't think David Harbour could of made it as a silent film star.
