"Lady of the Manor" has a cast of many familiar faces in lead roles. The actors have charisma and make for an enjoyable watch, however the lead actress's character begins to grate after a while because of many kinds of rudenesses that's part of her character arc, yes, but which doesn't fully go away. Despite this many charming moments still shine, such as teaching a prim and proper 19th century lady how to make silly faces or fart.
The central plot is fairly predictable, or perhaps completely predictable. But the characters make it a ride to enjoy even though also to frustration and then also confusion. Such as what indeed are the ghosts powers, and really should the story exist at all given what the ghost could've compelled others to do earlier?
While mixed feelings did make me skip through some sections, I did have some laugh out moments which is an achievement for myself and any film. If you can look past a bit of overindulgent writing, there's smart portrayals (particularly of douchebag Tanner), quick editing, and an underlying decency to the selfish lead character.
