[Played Feb. 17 as part of AARP's Movies for Grownups, opened Feb. 19 in theaters, and available on various VOD platforms.] After a despondent, successful, British crime novelist (Dan Stevens), who suffers from writer's block, attends a séance with a flamboyant medium (Judi Dench) in 1937 England, and she accidentally conjures up his first wife (Leslie Mann) in this disappointing, flat, wacky, slow-paced, intermittently funny, star-dotted (Julian Rhind-Tutt, Emilia Fox, Dave Johns, James Fleet, Adil Ray, Michele Dotrice, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Delroy Atkinson, Stella Stocker, and Jaymes Sygrove), 95-minute slapstick comedy adapted from Sir Noël Peirce Coward's 1941 play and filled with shallow characters, havoc ensues as jealousy with his new wife (Isla Fisher) runs rampant and the ghost terrorizes everyone in the household.
