Ghost of a chance

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2007)

Interesting drama/mystery/love story only spoiled by hocus-pocus and ridiculous ideas of heaven and hell, and, funnily enough, ghosts.
"Ghost" may have been more effective, if less popular, filmed straight down the line as a mystery-drama. Imagine: Pleasant love story takes a dark twist when Swayze is killed accidentally, or was he........You might say that would have been dull, but it would have saved the movie going off on a foolish tangent.
Nevertheless, "Ghost" works well enough as a tear jerker, with a very funny performance by Whoopi Goldberg. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore made a lovely couple.
