Critics Consensus

We Have a Ghost has a fun concept and a talented cast; unfortunately, this spookily uneven '80s pastiche also has very little idea of what to do with them.

Audience Consensus

It suffers from some clunky writing, but We Have a Ghost is a fun lightweight supernatural comedy that might even make you cry.

I really enjoyed the film minus 2 things: I wasn't a fan of the car chasing scene and it was alittle weird to see the ghost being Kevin's wingman basically. It would've been weirder if he was alive but he was ghost so it was just alittle weird. Other than that, I love how the characters came around and put their egos aside. But I especially loved that the Ghost got closure with his daughter. Tears were crawling down my face. Very sweet.

Really enjoyed it. It's so hard to come up with fresh characters and an interesting back story but I think it succeeded.

Comedy, drama, good plot, great cast. What more could you ask for? This movie was really good! I enjoyed the simplicity of it and how well made it was. These critics are tripping honestly. Watch this!!

This is a terrible movie, do yourself a favour and perform root canal on yourself without an anesthetic, trust me you'll enjoy it alot more than "we have a ghost".

Inverse

We Have A Ghost is haunted by the legacies of similar movies, but it finds a way to stay relevant.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

There are times when We Have a Ghost is too corny for its own good, and the reveal about what happened to Ernest is kind of out of left field. Still, the cast is wonderful, the laughs are frequent, and the ending is truly touching.

Rated: 3/4

M.N. Miller

Ready Steady Cut

Christopher Landon’s aimless and stagnant We Have a Ghost is an attempt by the horror-comedy director to make a family ghost film that is light on chills, general hilarity, and soul-stirring moments.

Rated: 2/5

“We Have a Ghost” is entertaining even if it fritters away most of its greatest aspects.

Christopher Landon is a talented filmmaker, and I want to think this is a mere hiccup in what will continue to be an inspired career as a genre director.
