We can't edit your posts (we don't do that on Whirlpool), but we will hide them (they can be unhidden once the content that broke a rule is removed).

An unfulfilled divorced woman gets the chance to relive her past when she meets a young man who appears to be her high school sweetheart who died many years before.
I really need help remembering this movie. It is stuck in my head and driving me crazy.
If anyone can help I would be so grateful. I can remember almost the entire movie, I just can't recall what it's called, and I can't find it anywhere online. Here it is: It starts out with a young girl (I cannot for the life of me remember this girl's name) appearing and talking to the floating head of her master, as he describes her assignment for the competition between her and two other girls for the chance to become a master witch. Her assignment is a guy named Richard. They watch as Richard and his wife (I think her name may be Kristin or something similar to that) are getting ready for a dinner with his boss.
She observes that Richard's wife is mean spirited. The girl's master tells her that if she fails in her assignment then Richard will eventually lose his job, his self- respect, his wife and his home. She requests that he let her take Guss the ghost with her and he consents. So the guy who pretends to be a social services worker or lawyer appears on the couple's doorstep a few seconds later and tells Richard that his long lost brother and sister- in- law recently passed away in an accident and left him something in his will. Excitedly Richard's wife asked how much they were getting and the man holds out his hand to shoulder height and says "Oh, about this much." Richard's wife asks when can they receive it and the man points behind them and says "She's already here." Richard's wife adamantly insists that the girl cannot stay there and says they need to leave. The guy talks them into letting her stay for the week until social services can find somewhere for her to go.
After he leaves Richard helps her get settled in and calls a babysitter. Once the babysitter arrives they head for the dinner. The scene cuts to the neighbors' house across the street where the lady is spying and her husband is trying to ignore her.
While the girl and the babysitter are playing a game, the nosy neighbor lady knocks on the door to try and satisfy her curiosity. When they shut the door in her face she decides to find out more by climbing a latter and spying on the girl's room. The girl comes into the room right after she gets in place and summons Guss the Ghost from a duffel bag and sends him on a mission, which turns out to be to frighten Richard's wife while at the restaurant. They return home with her in jumpy hysterics.
Richard's wife works with his supposed friend, Gary (I may be wrong on his name but I think that was his name.) to frame Richard for corporate theft right when he was supposed to be on the verge of a major business deal promotion. Richard's wife regrets her part in what happened, and slaps Gary when he makes a move on her. Then when Gary is on the verge of closing the same deal the following day the girl and the babysitter – who knows that she is a witch – go to his office and cause him to appear to have a breakdown in front of the clients, which in turn causes him to confess that he was the one doing the stealing and that he had framed Richard so he could take his job.
In the end, Richard got his job back, got the promotion and landed the business deal with those clients. The nosy neighbor lady was sent to a psychiatrist by her husband.
When the time came for her to leave she started to leave, but Richard pushed past his – still mean spirited – wife, ran out the door, and told the man still pretending to be either a lawyer or social worker that they wouldn't be needing his services.
