Genre: Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 16-JUN-2009
Media Type: Blu-RayDan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins–who knew they could “slime” people with green plasma goo?–but hovering above the plot is Murray’s patented ironic view of all the action. Still a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in Black. –Tom Keogh

The movie is great and I was so excited to see it but they include horrible words not even for kids 10-! My family and I had to count how many we caught! It is PG and it sure did scare me!
It’s about 4 friends that think they can fight ghosts… but one day they get this call from this lady that thinks she has a ghost in her frezer, she sees a small little world and the lady’s eggs are cracking and boiling when they are on the counter not being watched or even toutched!
Only one of the ghostbusters come, thinking that is is small only needing one ghostbuster, he checks the lady’s freezer and sees that nothing is there, he trys to make the lady think that her freezer is empty-noo ghosts! FINALLY the lady says ok I believe you but she really thinks something is there, but as h e is leaving he admits that he really likes her but the lady thinks he is VERY crazy so she doesn’t want himm to like her!
Later they see eachother in a store and one of the ghostbusters asks to go on a date with the lady and of course she doesn’t really want to but somehow she does.
When the date was planned the ghostbuster arrives at her house, but right before he comes the lady looks in her freezer and sees a small little world like last time!
She closes her freezer and hears the doorbell, it is the ghostbuster! He comes in but it is not the same lady she is a mean old something anything but nice lady like she was!
That’s all I saw..

The only people who seem to like this movie are the ones that saw it in the theater when it came out. It’s called nostalgia. For anyone watching this movie for the first time on DVD, you will be very disappointed.
The DVD itself has a very high quality transfer and excellent extra features. So if you are already a fan, you will be very pleased indeed.

It has some funny moments. Overall, there are too few enjoyable scenes in 90 minutes.
Fans of the cartoon series will certainly love it.

I remembered watching this in a theatre.
I didn’t remember all the ‘spirit’ issues that they deal with. Not what we need in this home!

The Bottom Line:
Ghostbusters, though beloved, is not a terribly good movie–the special effects are no longer impressive so we’re left only with the uneven comedy (weak beyond Bill Murray) and a goofy Rick Moranis–watch it if you must but don’t expect a classic.
