| We Got This CoveredPerri NemiroffRather than going straight for the laughs and only the laughs, Ghost Team One delivers two well developed, likable characters that turn the film into an effective narrative capable of sustaining the best and worst of its comedic repertoire. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterIt’s not the derivative scares and rudimentary effects that keep this low-budget effort percolating but the improvisational energy of Mr. Santos and Mr. Villarreal, whose ease, chemistry and humor never flag. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniProfane, randy, oversexed, and wonderfully juvenile. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergReally runs out of steam near the end, but there's still a nice batch of raunchy laughs here. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonDestined to be a streaming-video hit with truant frat boys everywhere. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloGhost Team One may be the scariest picture this Halloween season, demonstrating that material so blatantly offensive can still be acquired by a major studio, and released mostly without comment. |
| Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangIt's frustrating that the filmmakers could only think to enrich the characters of one race by demeaning those of another. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireAn aggressively obnoxious tone undermines a decent concept and appealing cast. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerThanks to the shakiest of shaky-cams, you don't know whether to wince or lose your lunch. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThe makers of this high-concept comedy lack the courage of their gross-out convictions. Being loud, and tasteless can also be funny, but if all you've got to offer is bad racial humor, and dopey sex jokes, then you are the F@4k-You Man Eddie Murphy jokes about in "Raw," the guy who cluelessly tries to make people laugh by cursing a lot. Ghost Team One also panders to viewers, and does a lousy job of it, too. |
