Some really good special effects for a small film of this size. Plus, anytime a film can have Will Forte playing a singing bad guy, I really can't say I had a bad time.

A promising debut feature from the writer-director team of Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman, Extra Ordinary is just clever, funny, and referential enough to earn a modest cult following.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 21, 2022

Is there a good way to say "Extra Ordinary is Extraordinary!" without being a total cheeseball sell-out but still managing to get that onto the movie's poster? Because Extra Ordinary is extraordinary and I want the whole wide world to know it

Extra Ordinary may not be entirely original, but it is wholly entertaining, enough to build genuine excitement for the directing duo's next effort.

A super silly and enjoyable experience.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 7, 2021

Directorial debut from Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman, a lovely comedy about ghosts and a satanic rock star in small-town Ireland.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2021

Finds just the right mix of laughs and lunacy to underscore Extra Ordinary's story of lost souls looking to move on with their lives after loss, even if the dead still cast a long shadow.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 30, 2021

An Irish comedy horror that will win you over instantly with its wit charm and fast-paced story that never misses a beat.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 13, 2020

No complaints here: this is a horror comedy that works brilliantly well, with bags of charm and deserved self-belief.

| Jul 16, 2020

This comedy is a brilliant piece of work, honoring quite a few films that inspired it, but creating a story all its own. Extra Ordinary is such an enjoyable, inventive idea that will have you grinning and giggling the whole way through.

| Jul 12, 2020

Full of dry, quirky humor and goofy bits, "Extra Ordinary" gets legitimately dark and scary, with moments of gooey gore sprinkled in just for kicks.

| Original Score: B | Jun 25, 2020

Very funny off-beat Irish comedy.

| Original Score: A- | May 9, 2020

To say that things get wackier after that is no exaggeration. The laughs far outweigh the scares and some of the scenes...

| Original Score: B | May 1, 2020

So, you have a ghost story, a possibly budding romance, an exorcism, a light comedy and just a load of fun.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 30, 2020

This supernatural romantic comedy is, in a word, adorable. Much of that is due to the incredible charms of cowriter/star/Stephen Fry lookalike Maeve Higgins whose insecure and warm-hearted Rose is in a perpetual quest for romance and her next meal.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 28, 2020

...an irreverent, charming laugh-riot.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 24, 2020

Sly, sharp, and snarkily underplayed, this instant little masterpiece of fantasy comedy is as occasionally shockingly horrific as it is nonstop shockingly funny, peopled with instant fast friends.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 18, 2020

Rose is adorably charming throughout and Forte is devilishly good playing a total wack job in this bizarro ghostly romp. This paranormal party has spirit.

| Apr 10, 2020

Forte and O'Doherty are obvious highlights, but the rapport between Ward's comedic straight man and Higgins as the relatable punch line is where Extra Ordinary excels.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 5, 2020

If, by the off chance, you're in the mood for an eccentric ghost story that's filled with romance and questionable comedy, Extra Ordinary may be just what you need.
