So, I saw this movie on Netflix today, and while I was checking an actor on IMDb I noticed the low rating, which had me worried... but by the end of the film I was utterly dumbfounded BY that low rating. This movie was so enjoyable! At no point did I think to myself "Oh, I didn't like that."

This was not a comedy that got a lot of big laughs from me- but I was always smiling. It wasn't a big show of making me laugh, it just made me enjoy it. I loved the casual jokes from Stan, I loved the way everything tied together so well, I loved the weird and quirky ensemble and I loved how LONG the set up was and how I really got to get involved with every character by the time the danger set in. And on that note, I noticed something I hadn't in a long time- genuine concern for a characters safety! In an odd, roundabout way, it did something so many horror movies have spectacularly failed to do. Because the characters made me laugh, made me happy, I had an emotional connection to them, and I was WORRIED they might die! When I watch a horror movie, I'm generally so uninvested in the characters I forget which ones HAVE already died.

This movie had good, smart humour with likable characters and a fun and interesting premise. I liked every second of it, it never felt too much or too little. It was a damn good movie and I would 100% see a sequel.

I watched about 2/3rds of this movie in the first sitting. It was okay. Not especially funny, but somehow engaging enough to keep me from being bored. I realized about a month later that I hadn't finished the movie, and didn't know if it was still up on Netflix. Of course, it was, and I finished watching it.

There are a few charming moments, but nothing that approaches memorable. There's a lot of humor that could be mined from people who buy into ghost hunting shows. Those ideas are in this movie, but it seemed like it lost focus of the funniest aspect of the premise, and instead went with some broad, predictable gags for the characters.

The plot involves the group deciding to shoot an audition episode of a ghost hunting show. They go to a "haunted" barn. After poking around, they stumble on a larger, non-supernatural story.

This is a decent development, but for the budget that the movie seemed to have, the writing is much more dull, and no real risks are taken.

I was not expecting much at all from this movie, but was pleasantly surprised. This movie did not make me burst out laughing or fall out of my seat in terror, but it kept me thoroughly engaged for the full duration. It may be feel mildly warm, happy, and sometimes anxious.

I was left with the feeling that this movie was exactly as it was meant to be, a throwback to cheesy horror of the nineties, with a lot of heart. If you've never been on a lame ghost hunt with your friends before, you may not get it. But for those of us who remember poking around in attics, researching old houses on microfilm at the library, ouija boards and candles, and just getting plain scared with your friends, then you will understand this movie, even if the characters are a little old for that stuff.

This movie never attempts to fall back on lame jokes to force a laugh, like the Seth Rogan over-used brand of weed and butt one- liners. It could have but didn't, and I was so appreciative of that.

5 stars for not being a movie for which I would have to make fun of my boyfriend for thinking it was a good idea to watch on a date. 1 star for characters who never become disassociated killers, even under stress. 1 star for the laid back and realistic ending.

Jon Header plays a guy boohooing over the fact that he owns a copy shop(Keyword owns, don't care how boring it is to own a copy shop) Then suddenly, an old man comes into the shop rambling about something but the only thing this guy picks up is that his house is haunted. Now he recruits his friends to check it out so he can make an audition tape to become a new cast member of the TV show Ghost Hunter.

It's an ensemble cast of once well known up and coming actors playing the worse group of underachievers America has to offer, going for the goal of the most superficial achievement America has to offer, a group of stoner like white boys trying to be on a reality show.

Maybe it would have been far funnier if the white boys were actually stoners, but this movie is just super corny. Jon Heder is corny, Justin long is really corny. The only one who really made me laugh was the guy who played Zak who gave me one big laugh, out of a movie good for only three big laughs.

Ghost Team did have a plot twist that was worthy of one of those three big laughs too, but the movie altogether is not funny and it quickly makes you loose interest because of how unfunny it is from the start.

One huge laugh at the end but the movie only gave me three when it should have given me more.

Not sure what the budget was for this film, but I've seen better student productions.

The film had the kind of idea that could have been comedy gold. But poor script and direction left it severely lacking.

A shame, as the cast are capable of so much more.

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.

Great cast fun movie. Worth a watch .Really enjoy the storyline and seeing Justin Long is always great .

You would think a movie that had this many "names" in it would have been at least tolerable. Think again.

"Ghost Team" tells a tale about a young man, stuck in a dead-end life, who is obsessed with things that go bump in the night. He so longs to lead his own paranormal research team he would do just about anything to achieve his real dream. Enter some old man babbling about a "haunted barn," and the chase is on.

Not even John Heder, Justin Long, or Amy Sedaris can save this lame- ass excuse for a movie. The script was horrible, although up to a point the movie does manage to create an atmosphere of "something's out there". However, it could not decide what it wanted to be. The "twist," although very plausible, could not keep it interesting or entertaining. The talents of Amy Sedaris are wasted.

I viewed this On-Demand, which advertised the movie as rated "R". I checked it out, and it is really only PG-13, and that's a TAME PG- 13. There is really only one off-color word, no violence, no sex, and, well...really not much of anything.

A wasted attempt that could have been a real hoot had the script been about 20 times better than it was.
