Los Angeles Times
Like those cheeky genre-splicing comedies that came before it, the Ahern-Loughman collaboration doesn’t merely goose the boundary between charming and outrageous, it gleefully tramples it into oblivion.

When washed up rock star Christian Winter (Forte) does a deal with the devil to return him to fame, rural Ireland driving instructor Rose (Maeve Higgins) must save a neighbour's daughter from being used for Winter's Satanic purposes.

Part of Extra Ordinary’s novelty is that it allows supernatural comedy to feel like a lark again; the special effects are mostly low-tech and never overblown.

Extra Ordinary is spirited in every sense of the word... What’s strange is how confident this is for a pair of first-time filmmakers.

A defiantly odd piece of work, one that comes from a very unique sense of humor that works for most of its running time, even if this is the kind of thing that likely connects with the funny bone more on late-night cable than it does in the theater.

Screen Daily
The humour is low key, repeatedly mining the juxtaposition of the supernatural and the banal; a likeable performance from Maeve Higgins is the picture's driving force.

A light but enjoyable horror/comedy/romance whose star deserves the exposure.
