Bill Murray comedy is a silly cult classic but not screamingly funny...

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2006)

I never did find this one screamingly funny, as some Bill Murray fans obviously do.
It's got a preposterous story with some good special effects (for those slimy, jello-like green images) and if quirky characters are your thing, you'll find plenty of them among the cast of characters. But a wittier script by Bill Murray would have helped.
In other words, I can take it or leave it--that's exactly how I felt when this comedy was over. Sure, there were some fun moments with Rick Moranis as a nosy neighbor and I'll admit Murray and Dan Ackroyd have some good one-liners. Then too, Sigourney Weaver is amusing as the gal with a fridge from hell, but by the time the overlong story got to its mindblowing conclusion, I was longing for "The End" to appear on the screen.
Not my cup of tea as comedies go. Best moments were when the ghosts were on the loose and things got a little unpredictable toward the conclusion. But what happened in between these ghostly apparitions left a lot to be desired.
