If there is a single sentence that encapsulates this whole film, it is this: Blithe Spirit simply is not remotely funny.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
The charisma and comedic flare we'd expect is missing in action, with the film failing to recover from its flat prologue.

The AU Review
Spirited performances and wonderful costume design stand little chance against script and direction that smother sparks beneath slapstick and treacle.

Sydney Morning Herald
Director Edward Hall and writers Piers Ashworth, Meg Leonard and Nick Moorcroft have taken Coward's premise and pumped extra sugar into it, as well as some unnecessary preservatives.

TIME Magazine
There are some movies that are so bad that they're entertaining, and there are some movies that are so bad that they're boring. Unfortunately, this Blithe Spirit remake falls into the latter category.

Culture Mix
No matter the medium, the raconteur's sharp dialogue often amuses. Too bad that the overall effect, in this movie, drops precipitously in time.

Rating: 3/5 --
There's more Madame Arcati, which can only be a bonus when Dench has the role. And there's a riff on the pros and cons of having a ghostwriter that I think is quite clever.

Product Description:
Novelist Charles Condomine fails to find inspiration as he strives to produce his latest project. Out of ideas, he decides to seek the help of Madame Arcati (Judi Dench), a spiritual medium. Yet much to his dismay, Madame Arcati's seance inadvertently awakens the spirit of Elvira (Leslie Mann), his first wife, who unexpectedly passed away years ago. Charles then finds himself embroiled in an unusual love triangle between his first love and his current wife, Ruth (Isla Fisher). Based on the stage play by Noël Coward. Directed by Edward Hall.
