Favorite Part Is The Soap Punishment When Hannah Caused More Then Once😆
One of the really nice things about the comedy is that Hannah likes sex, a lot, just like a male stoner. She has an adult magazine stash. She has no trouble expressing her interest in guys, and very little good judgement about them either. In short, a stoner. She lucks into a job giving tours of an historic house, Wadsworth Manor, where she encounters the ghost of Lady Wadsworth, former owner of the manor. Hi-jinks ensue.
This is not the most brilliantly written and incisive comedy ever, but it is a pleasant comedy that won't leave you bored senseless with its predictability like most mainstream "comedies." The writers' willingness to go with Hannah's stoner persona keeps it fresh until the very end when the story line goes where the story has to go in all mainstream comedies. It's a bit of a White Savior story, but other than that, not deeply offensive.
I recommend it as a pleasant, well meaning, slightly stupid comedy which puts it WAY ahead of most stoner comedies.
I watched the entire pathetic thing hoping for one redeeming moment. It never came. My life isn't worth much, but I feel like I deserve a refund for the 96 minutes lost to Lady of the Manor.
I'm a fan of Judy Greer and she definitely carried the film. Very thin on plot. Kind of baffled that a modern film in which a woman is (humorously?) incorrectly accused of a serious sexual offense, for which she repeatedly faces consequences, would also feature two incidents of textbook workplace sexual harassment (boss solicits employee) and two incidents of wrongful termination (boss retaliates by firing employee who turns him down) and leave them completely unaddressed. I mean, I would say it's supposed to reflect an unfair and unequal justice system, but that's way too deep for this film.
I had very low expectations for the film and so I enjoyed it well enough. Main character, Hannah, is likeable but very, very dumb. She kind of learns and grows throughout the film? Barely? Her love interest, Max, a PhD in History from Harvard and a person presumably endowed with critical thinking skills, is remarkably unfazed by a woman he's met one time coming to him for help with a ghost. He does not once question her sanity, her seriousness, the existence of ghosts in general or of an afterlife--maybe the directors thought that had been done to death? I was just sort of amazed by how well Max took on board Hannah talking to a ghost he couldn't see. Like, he had no questions about the situation. That's...sweet, I guess?
The cringiest part of this movie, however, were the roles of Nia and Marcus Pipkin, a sister and brother descended from a servant (former slave? this is conspicuously not mentioned) and friend of the original Lady of the Manor. While the movie attempts to address an injustice, apparently based in racism and greed on the part of the Manor's Lord in Ye Olden Days, Nia and Marcus have extremely little autonomy in the story. Although they are ultimately the rightful inheritors of the Manor and its contents, the Black characters' only role in the story is to 1) react to Hannah's antics; 2) provide Hannah, a white woman, with comfort and advice, despite the film not showing us any growth of a friendship between Nia and Hannah; 3) be appropriately pleased and shocked when the white woman saves the day by showing (pretty thin-on-the-ground) evidence that the Manor had in fact been left to Josephine Pipkin, the servant, and her descendants. The actors playing Nia and Marcus did a good job with what they were given--the problem is that they were given very, very little. It's also very weird that the film has this underlying theme of racial justice and no one says the word 'race' or refers to historical racism, including slavery, or current racial inequality or whatever. It's like the directors said, "Let's have this side story about white people returning stolen property to Black people and attempting to right historic wrongs, but no one can say any of this out loud. And also, the Black people can't do anything interesting or be anything but props in the movie." If I'm being super generous, I would say that the Pipkins' story and their friendship with Hannah must have been left on the cutting room floor, but I kind of doubt that it was there in the first place.
The directors tried. They just didn't try very hard. Or apparently have any people of color they could talk to while making this film.
