5/10
Decent considering the budget.

Don't go into this expecting it to be a horror/comedy like it has been billed. It's just a straight comedy with one very cheap ghost effect for about 10 seconds. This is a found footage/mockumentary comedy about three pretty cliched characters that relies on some really dumb jokes.

There's a dumb, child-like guy who lives with his mother, doesn't realize people carry their cell phones with them everywhere and apparently can't see slides at the playground. His level of dumb is ratcheted up to the point that the jokes don't land. No one is that dumb.

There's a well-meaning, good-natured dumb guy who tags along with everything because he wants to be liked, even when he clearly shouldn't. He eats a ton of Indian food before going on the ghost hunt because he's never had it before an somehow didn't think eating all that spicy food could be bad. This sets up the next 15 minutes to be one long, extended fart joke.

Then there's the overgrown man-child dumb guy who is extremely selfish and doesn't like that his best friend has grown up and become a responsible adult. He's the kind of guy who's rude to everyone but they still hang out with him anyway.

The other guy is the long-suffering ex-best-friend who actually grew up and got a job and tried to ditch his idiot pal but agrees to go along after he's badgered into it.

The ghost hunt at the center of the movie is very short. Then there's an extended section at the end of the movie that drags on waaaaay too long.

I've seen worse writing, acting and jokes. There are a few one-liners that hit okay but get drowned out by larger unbelievable setups and scenes. The after-credits scene/outtake is one of the funnier parts of the movie and seems possibly ad-libbed. Considering this movie was made for $1,000, it's honestly not the worst.
