Ryan Phillippe, Melanie Lynskey, Judy Greer, and Justin Long in Lady of the Manor (2021)

Past and present collide in this supernaturally funny buddy comedy when stoner-slacker Hannah (Melanie Lynskey) is hired to portray Lady Wadsworth (Judy Greer), a Southern belle who died in 1875, in a tour at Wadsworth Manor. Hannah, a hot mess, figures she can fake it - until the ghost of Lady Wadsworth appears! Lady Wadsworth tells Hannah it's time to change her wild ways - and she'll haunt her until she does - in this hilarious movie costarring Justin Long and Ryan Phillippe.

Goofs
After Hannah removes the glass box covering Sherman's hat, the box reappears in reaction shots, and is gone again when the camera goes back to Hannah.

Entertaining farce, the ghost just won't go away.

My wife and I settled in to watch this movie, written by Justin Long and his brother Christian, on Amazon streaming movies. It is clear why this is available so soon on streaming. But after a rocky start it develops into a funny, entertaining farce. No one would term this a "great" movie but if the explicit foul language here and there doesn't bother you then it is a fun romp.

Slacker lady is not a drug dealer, she just makes deliveries after someone else deals. But she isn't even good at that and gets busted when delivering, on bicycle, to the wrong address. But she gets an unexpected opportunity, to work as a guide through a historical home in Savannah (filmed in Florida). To her surprise the real Lady of the manor comes to her as a ghost from the 1800s.

We should have rebuffed this movie, we should have turned it off after about 20 or 25 minutes. But we didn't and laughed often. Just a fluff of an entertaining farce. The outtakes shown as part of the end credits are some of the funniest of the whole movie. A solid "6" of 10.
