Past and present collide in this supernaturally funny buddy comedy when stoner-slacker Hannah (Melanie Lynskey) is hired to portray Lady Wadsworth (Judy Greer), a Southern belle who died in 1875, in a tour at Wadsworth Manor. Hannah, a hot mess, figures she can fake it -- until the ghost of Lady Wadsworth appears! Lady Wadsworth tells Hannah it's time to change her wild ways -- and she'll haunt her until she does -- in this hilarious movie costarring Justin Long and Ryan Phillippe.

Lady of the Manor sees a great cast struggle under the weight of a sloppy script.

It is genuinely painful to see some of the most talented and appealing actors in Hollywood, including Justin Long himself, wasted in a movie that shows such a lack of respect for the audience.

Despite the enjoyable chemistry between its leads and a promisingly offbeat premise, the buddy comedy does a better job of betraying its filmmakers' lack of imagination than it does conjuring any real laughs.

C-

Proves that a comedy can make you laugh consistently enough and still be quite bad.

On the plus side, Greer elevates every scene she’s in, even the ones that involve fart jokes. And it must be said, most regrettably, that Lady of the Manor is very, very fond of those.

Not as funny as I had hoped it would be. The outtakes at the end were the best.

Try poor script wasted on a group of strong acting potential. Low budget and it shows. Do not waste your time with this one not much to like here.

Any film with Melanie Lynskey is worth watching. Justin Long, with his brother Christian, makes his directorial debut here. It won’t win awards, but it’s a fun, feel-good ride.

Though I like Judy Greer, and also found Melanie Lynskey quite alright in 2 1/2 men, this movie here is just silly nonsense, forcing one to fast-forward through 90% of it. It's simply childish beyond believe. 2/10 points.

I thought this would be a fun historical romp but the language was so foul and pervasive it was mostly vulgar and trashy. Don't waste your time. Beneath Judy Greer in the staring role.
