Lewis (Jon Heder/Napoleon Dynamite) owns a copy shop and wants to hunt ghosts. His best friend Stan (David Krumholtz) believes his girlfriend Pam was abducted by aliens because she left him at the altar...why else would she not show? They get wind that on old barn may be haunted and they decide to go investigate. Lewis recruits his nephew Zak (Paul W. Downs) a techno-weenie who arranges a five-finger borrowing of equipment. The get caught by mall cop Ross (Justin Long) who they convince to join them. Ellie (Melonie Diaz) invites herself along and Victoria the psychic (Amy Sedaris) is invited....and she knew she was going to be invited.

The film had a few good laughs, but was mostly smile funny. It is a refreshing alternative to the multitude of hand held ghost hunter films out there. The twist I had suspected when the old man came into the copy shop which may say too much about myself.

Was that a Geiger counter Ellie was using to chase ghosts? Guide: F-word. no sex or nudity. Worst "Dream Weaver" sing-along/karaoke in a movie to date. Comedy not horror.

score 8/10
