Review of Ghost Dad (1990) by Scott A — 02 May 2013

This is one mess of a movie. I give props to Cosby for trying, but I wasn't sure where this film was going. I didn't hate the film, but it did seem to drag for only being around 80 minutes long.

Okay, so the psycho cab driver was fun. But then Cosby becomes a ghost, but he can still be seen if the lights are off and he quickly learns how to be heard and to still touch people??? Some ghost!

The movie isn't very funny, and for most of the film is more drama than anything. And if you died, why would you care so much about keeping your job? Like he;s a damn ghost and neither he nor his kids seem to really get how major it is that he is dead!!! It's just like a Tuesday to them all.

And far too much use of a Janet Jackson song...like every five minutes there for awhile.

The effects actually didn't look horrible some 23 years later.
