This film seemed like an absolutely delightful film to start with when I saw the DVD cover and when I read the plot of the film and it seemed like a right laugh but when I watched it, I was greatly disappointed. I didn't even think this film was funny at all which is why I found Ghost Town to be very dull and boring. Another thing that I thought was disappointing is that I didn't find it emotional in any way whatsoever.
Ricky Gervais is an actor as well as a comedian that I cannot stand because I don't find him funny and he really irritates me. He can't even act at all. His performance was absolutely dreadful! At the beginning of the film, when ? showed his true colours of what kind of person he is, I think that tried to introduce how funny Gervais can get in this film but I didn't even find any of that funny which is why it is a bad film. Greg Kinnear's performance was bad as well. I like him as an actor especially in Little Miss Sunshine but I think he was totally miscast in this film. Téa Leoni didn't make this film any better either.
The directing was really flat and lacked pretty much every kind of feeling you could get in a film especially the drama and the comedy within. I feel that it tries to compare itself a lot to Ghost. The script wasn't very good either.
Overall, Ghost Town is an extremely disappointing film that I thought was absolutely rubbish. It isn't one of the worst films I have ever watched but to be perfectly honest, it isn't that far off. Everything about this film was disappointing but not plain awful.
