3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost (2023 TV Movie)
7/10
Ghostly fun!
12 October 2023
Ruby has just turned 25. Charlie loves her, but she shuns his love, saying they are just too different, and her Father does not approve of him.

We jump ahead 100 years, and the house Ruby lived in is up for sale. Anna is a real estate agent working for her Dad. Having just received her license, her Dad hands her a house that's been listed several times - apparently being jinxed.

As a matter of fact, the house is not jinxed, but it has a live-in ghost. Oh no, this is not a haunted house story, this is a delightful romantic comedy with a ghost not able to leave the house. The ghost in question is Ruby, who tragically died in a car accident on her 25th birthday. She is wonderfully portrayed by Madeleine Arthur. I absolutely loved this bubbly and energetic character!

Anna has just broken off her engagement with Elliot, but they are still good friends. Anna is determined to sell the house, but Ruby refuses. Noticing the similarities between her and Charlie's relationship and Anna and Elliot's, she is determined to bring them together - and the house is her chance to make it happen.

'3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost' is every bit as predictable as most romantic comedies are, but this was nevertheless fun. I enjoyed the chemistry between Anna and Elliot - maybe because Julie Gonzalo and Chris McNully are indeed a real-life couple. The film also has underlying messages, telling us not to have regrets. I enjoyed the contrast between the time periods. We actually have so much to learn from yesteryear....

This is a ghost story that won't give you nightmares, and is a delightful movie the entire family can enjoy!
