Scooby-Doo for the Millennials...!
If it's a little bit of camp fun you're looking for...then, this might be right up your street. An untaxing, ghostly jamboree.
John Waters does provide an amusing cameo and there are a few good one-liners. Although Matthew Gray Gubler (cool name!) does become a little irritating after a while...tone it down babycakes!
For a comedy...it gets a little too bogged down with homophobia...the comebacks aren't as funny as the writers obviously think.
Still, if it's a cheap, non-taxing, ghostly jamboree you're after...look no further.

The(ir) Blurb...
Raymond has a prestigious MBA, but he can't find work. He can channel the paranormal, but chatting with a cute girl mystifies him. Kicked out of his big city apartment, Raymond returns home to his overbearing mother, ex-jock father, and beer-bellied classmates. But when a vengeful ghost terrorizes the small town, the city-boy recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to solve the mystery of the spirit threatening everyone's lives.
