Extra Ordinary

THE GIST
: Rose, a sweet and lonely driving instructor, is constantly hounded by people in need of her supernatural talents, which she steadfastly refuses to use since a bad accident years prior. Reluctantly, she agrees to help a man whose wife's spirit still hangs around in their house. There's also a washed-up pop-star who dabbles in dark magic to restart his career.

Extra Ordinary looked like an interesting comedy, so I decided to give it a try. It's not extraordinary . . . but it's certainly funny.

The best part is Maeve Higgins, who plays Rose, who is equal parts adorable and hysterical. What a great actress. And her partner-in-crime, Barry Ward, is just as good!

Will Forte, almost unrecognizable behind that ridiculous makeup, is pretty good as well.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Dry and witty English humor abounds, and I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into it, give this one a whirl!

Grade: 6.5
