But there are several impressively dynamic special effects sequences with Ernest using his ghost powers to protect Kevin.

“We Have a Ghost” is unnecessarily long, padded with tangential comic characters - including Jennifer Coolidge as a phony TV spiritualist and Tig Notaro as a bitter ex-CIA agent - who don’t do a lot to advance the story or make it funnier. In this case, most of the heart-tugging comes via Kevin, from his strained relationship with Frank and his attempt to help Ernest figure out who he really is. Landon is best known for “Happy Death Day” and “Freaky,” two polished, genre-bending films that combine humor, horror and surprising swells of emotion. Writer-director Christopher Landon adapted Manaugh’s story, adding a few more characters and twists while holding on to a lot of the original premise. But introverted teenager Kevin (Jahi Winston) can tell Ernest is no threat and becomes his friend, while Kevin’s clout-chasing dad, Frank (Anthony Mackie), turns the apparition into a viral sensation. Dubbed “Ernest” because of the name stitched on his shirt, the ghost - who can make noise but can’t talk, and can touch people but can’t be touched - tries to chase away the home’s new family by howling and making scary faces. Based on Geoff Manaugh’s short story “Ernest,” the genial horror-comedy “We Have a Ghost” stars David Harbour as a spirit haunting a fixer-upper house in the Chicago area.
