Jay Weissberg Variety 05/08/2007
Every bit as silly as its title would suggest, Poltergay offers sporadic laughs and plenty of groans. Go to Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au 08/09/2010
Poltergay manages to find a winning, fun-loving balance that should satisfy open-minded straight viewers and the gay audience in equal measure. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 04/06/2008

...one consequently can't help but wonder if something's gotten lost in the translation. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 10/11/2007
3/5
One of those sniggering French farces that implies a lot of naughtiness but doesn't deliver much. On the other hand, it is rather a lot of fun. Go to Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net 02/07/2007
Wastes a potentially brilliant premise for a cult classic with pedestrian execution, lame jokes and sequins instead of character development. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

PridePosterStudios @RT04271525 09/21/2023 G-g-g-gays! See more 05/29/2021 It was a fun, festive and campy movie that provided lots of laughter and giggles from those of us who enjoyed it! See more 07/28/2012 Extremely charming, it has found its own way. The end is very lovely indeed. Very different to what I've seen before and I love it! See more 04/10/2011 thought this would be terrible but infact its quite sweet. Got funnier once the ghosts began to help MArc See more 01/10/2010 comédie anecdotique mais sympathique See more 06/14/2009 Emma and Marc, two young lovers, move into a house which has been uninhabited for thirty years. What they don't know is that in 1979, in a cave under the house, there was a gay disco, which burned down when a foam machine short-circuited, and five bodies were never found. Today, the house is haunted by five gay ghosts. However, only Marc is able to see them, and his visions drive Emma away. The ghosts, touched by Marc's problems, do everything in their power to help him get his girl back. See more Read all reviews
