The film begins with Joe, a somewhat hapless heir to a dilapidated estate, who initially views his inheritance as a financial opportunity.

My Boo tries to do something different, and for the most part, it works.

It’s a quirky little film that mixes romance with ghostly shenanigans, and while it has its moments, it doesn’t quite reach the heights it aims for. The premise is fun—who wouldn’t want to fall in love with a ghost? But the execution can feel a bit clumsy at times. Joe’s character is relatable, but his journey feels predictable and at times meanders through the ghostly plot without much urgency. The film certainly has its charm, and there are genuine laughs to be had, but it lacks the emotional punch that could have made it truly memorable. The direction by Khomkrit Treewimol is solid, but you can’t help but wish for a bit more depth. Overall, it’s an enjoyable watch, but don't expect to be blown away. Show less
