YMMV / Ghosts Can't Do It

• Ass Pull: At one point, Kate runs into a woman who can see Scott's ghost. Why? She's a white witch. At no other point in this entire film will we get an acknowledgement that witchcraft is real in this universe, and said white witch doesn't actually do anything of importance.
• Designated Hero: In any other film, a woman who tries to murder an innocent man so that the ghost of her deceased husband can inhabit their body would almost certainly be the villain. The Dereks seem to have realized the problem with this, as late on Fausto is suddenly revealed to be a petty criminal, and he ends up accidentally drowning himself, thus keeping Kate from having to commit murder.
• Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of viewers only watch it to see Donald Trump As Himself in a cameo.
• Narm: The Title Drop during the scene where Kate is coming to terms with Scott's death really undermines what could be quite a poignant moment (well, that and Bo Derek's acting). It's not helped by Kate repeatedly referring to Scott as "Great One" (her nickname for him; "great Scott," get it???), in tones reminiscent of Jeannie referring to Tony Nelson as "Master." Same with Scott's heart attack: an elderly dying man lying in his beautiful, weeping wife's arms in the snow sounds like it'd make a powerful image...but then they start talking.
  • When Kate asks Scott why he committed suicide, his response is a dramatic statement of "Real men don't eat quiche." This line is complete and utter nonsense if you aren't aware that Real Men Don't Eat Quiche is the title of an actual book that makes fun of masculine stereotypes. Even if you are aware of the book, the line is still pretty silly.
  • Just about any scene involving the ghostly Scott. It looks more like they got footage of Anthony Quinn performing a stand-up comedy routine and randomly spliced it into the film.
• So Bad, It's Good: At best, the movie can be called this. The Cinema Snob acknowledged the film's worthless but might be worth a watch for how insane it is, and The Official Razzie Movie Guide lists Ghosts Can't Do It as a laughably bad movie, that viewers could laugh at everything from the bizarre plot to Bo Derek's weird hats.
• Special Effect Failure: To say the least, having Scott's ghost represented by getting Anthony Quinn to stand in front of a black backdrop and superimposing footage of water over him isn't the most effective way of representing a supernatural being.
