jeez this looks f ucking terrible

Actually it isn't. Must have had an effect on you to come on here just to say it looks terrible. I love it. It's nice to get a good movie to watch with the kids. The boy is funny and the ghost is fabulous. I'd highly recommend it to kids who like adventure movies.

Are they supposed to be in America but everyone is English?

It is failing too much with the humour, characters and relationships.

The inept ghosthunter really shouldn't have that much attitude if she's that bad at her job and her accent keeps slipping just like everyone else's.

Maybe the finale will save it but given the quality of writing and bad special effects I doubt it.
