3 bed, 2 bath, 1 ghost is a thoroughly charming and bright movie. About a gorgeous historical home with a sweet and mischievous ghost and a couple with great chemistry who belong together, the movie has a fabulous cast who work great together. Chris McNally is as always, the very handsome, wholesome and charming leading man and he comes across as a natural. Julie Gonzalo is wonderful, as is Madeline Arthur who plays Ruby. This movie is a winner and I know you'll enjoy watching it as much as we did! It's the type of movie that proves that Hallmark Channel knows what the audience wants and loves.

I gave this movie a 7, because all of the actors were great. I love Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo, but the standout was newcomer Madeleine Arthur. I thought she was phenomenal. It was great to see Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo together in a movie again. They are so great together. I have to give props to the costume designer Mackenzie Serin. Ruby's wardrobe was gorgeous and so true to the time. I couldn't rate this movie higher, because I wanted more of the 1920s and that backstory. There was a lot of holes and I think they really could have done more to show us the 20s. It was probably a budget issue. Too bad though. This one really had potential to be a 10.

I was anxious to see this because it stars Julie Gonzalo (who was in "Falling For Vermont", one of my favorite Hallmark movies) and her real life love buddy Chris McNally. They have obvious chemistry and elevate the quality of whatever Hallmark movie they're in. But the best and most engaging performance of the movie was by Madeline Arthur who played Ruby the ghost. She has beautiful blue expressive eyes and really brought to life a well written character. She's bubbly and animated but also convincingly sad and upset when that's called for. And she really delivers the old 20s lingo like "Jeepers" and "Toots." She looked and sounded a little like Betty Boop. I loved her. The movie opens with Ruby and several party-goers dancing to the Charleston. It was a great intro and captured the feel of the 20s. And I liked the cut from Ruby's lost love Charlie dropping the flowers he bought for her to the flower tree that grew in that spot (100 years later). One of Arthur's scene stealing moments is the scene in which Anna gives Ruby some sage to "rid the space of lingering spirits." Ruby's fake and exaggerated depiction of it working reminded me of the famous Meg Ryan scene in "When Harry Met Sally" after which another diner said "I'll have what she's having," There's also a fun scene where Anna shows Ruby her modern cell phone and demonstrates how to send text messages. Ruby is amazed and asks "What do you do with all the time you save?" The half groan response by Gonzalo was subtle but effective. There's also a fun and pointed discussion about what women can do today that ends with a real zinger. I also liked how the writers avoided following any strict "Ghost Rules" with a wink to the audience: Anna: "How can you move objects but not people?" Ruby: "I don't know sweetheart. Cruel irony." The civil way that Anna and Elliot act towards each other, however, after dissolving their business and breaking off their engagement a few months earlier struck me as very ... Hallmarky. Couples who break up are usually not that pleasant to each other, nor do they bump into each other that often. As Anna tells Elliot (in a cute scene): "We should start avoiding each other like good exes" But the civility works for this movie because it makes the prospects for a reconciliation more likely. Anna's father is the no nonsense head of a real estate brokerage and has brought Anna on board following the end of her business with Elliot. Although the villainous realtor Terrence is a bit of a caricature, the father was perfect and the last scene with him and Anna was lovely. Normally the fun banter is between the couple, but here it's between Anna and Ruby: Ruby: "You don't want to fight me. I'm as unsinkable as the stock market" Anna; "You're not making the case you think you are." Anna and Elliot apparently had a restoration business together which Anna abandoned. It's a theme in the movie that is best captured by this line: "We don't quit. We restore. So let's just restore us" This was Hallmark at its best.

It was nice to watch a Hallmark movie that doesn't have all of same overworked bits. The actress that plays Ruby was wonderful and Julie Gonzalo was good. Chris McNally, to me, was the weakest part - he could be completely removed and the plot still works. The story is sweet and not overly convoluted. Still, this being a Hallmark movie you still have to watch a romance develop and be blown up in the last half hour, so it can be fixed in the last five minutes and end with a kiss. The dialogue from Ruby is great. Words I remember from my grandmother that are no longer used; jeepers, toots ... It made me remember how much I enjoyed spending time with my grandmother; a time that went away way too quickly. I recommend this movie and there aren't that many Hallmark movies these days that I like.

Real life couple Julie Gonzalo(A Cinderella Story) and Chris McNally star in this supernatural drama about a real estate agent named Anna Jenkins(Gonzalo)who is sent to a haunted mansion where a 1920s starlet named Ruby Baker(Arthur) is still living there and she refuses to cross over until she has found her purpose. So she helps Anna to reunite with Anna's ex fiance Elliot Barnes(McNally)who Anna still loves,but will Anna be able to help Ruby cross over to the other side. Parts of this film reminded me of Just Like Heaven as you have a ghost who is stuck in the present day and won't cross over until there self journey is complete. It's a good flick and I'd probably rewatch it again in the future.

I really liked this movie. I had expectations of a Hallmark re-tread story of some sort, but was pleasantly surprised by this story. The story wasn't the usual girl goes to big city for work then has to return home to small town for some obligatory reason. Love the main actors but especially loved Madeleine Arthur as Ruby. This is my first time seeing her and I have to say I loved her! She gave a super performance and I think she stole the show! She was such a natural. The other cast members were great, too, and they all combined to make this movie a fun time. A little something different from Hallmark, much appreciated.

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!

This was one of the BEST Hallmark movie I've seen in awhile. It is now on my top 5 of all time best! I loved it! I loved seeing Julie & Chris together in a Hallmark movie again. FINALLY!! This was different than the usual Hallmark meet-cute movies by far and the ending was sooooo unexpected. Madeleine Arthur's character Ruby was a hoot! She did a great job brining Ruby to light. Ruby's outfits were stunning too! I NEVER SEEN THAT ENDING COMING! I was very emotional and felt like it could definitely be a real love story. Well, maybe not the Ruby part, but between Anna and Elliot for sure. The movie held my total interest from start to finish and that is rare with Hallmark as some movies can be rather corny. : / Kudos for adding this wonderful movie to your Fall lineup. Now, Hallmark please give us a CHRISTMAS MOVIE WITH CHRIS MCNALLY TOO!
