Review of Ghostbusters (2016) by Carl E — 08 Apr 2017

Man, I really wanted to find the haters wrong. I really wanted all the bad reviews to be sour Grapes, but actually it's just not a good film. The problem of the script, or potentially the lack of a script.

Every line is played for a joke and not only do almost none of them land but that's often not how comedy works. I thought the four leads did alright jobs but without a solid script they weren't going to get far.

I think the real problem here is with Paul Feig and the scriptwriters. Sigh.
