Do Not Call

Rating: 5/10 (28 September 2010)

NYC is inundated with ghosts, leading to steady employment for a trio of ghost busters. This is supposed to be a comedy, but there's hardly anything here that's worth a chuckle. The script is meant to deliver both thrills and laughs, but fails miserably on both fronts. To paraphrase the only piece of dialog that is even mildly amusing here: this film is witless - it's true; it has no wit. Aykroyd and Ramis co-wrote the uninspired script and gave themselves boring straight-man roles. Murray is supposed to be the funny one and he tries to enliven things, but he's given little to work with. The special effects are cheesy and this lame film rambles on far too long.
