Casper, The Family Friendly GHOST

That one reviewer who complained about using the "B" word failed to explain it was in reference to a dog, which even Jim Carrey used in comic style refer to woman in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, when he claimed he was refering to her dog instead. Very funny how the word is family friendly in that context.
I like this movie, and yes, I am partial since I once dressed as Casper for halloween when Collegeville costumes were all the rage. This movie adaption did not disappoint. The effects of the ghosts are better than average for the comical angle, and the movie tone never lets up. Glad so many other people are interested in it also. Happy Halloween!

Ordered for my granddaughter and had it shipped to her in Avondale, AZ. Everything was fine.

Good for Kids, Move Along Adults

Casper
Many people have asked me when I was going to kick off the Halloween Season recently, and now I have. Casper is a child-friendly ghost story that is based off an old cartoon series. Considering this film was made in 1995, Casper has held up very well. If you are looking for a fun movie for your children to watch, you might want to check out Casper. If you are an adult, avoid this at all costs.

The story is very light hearted. Carrigan, a greedy woman, has just inherited a haunted Manor. There are three threatening ghosts: Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso. There is also a friendly ghost, Casper. Carrigan knows of a treasure somewhere in the manor, but needs to get the ghosts out of way to get to it. After many other choices, she settles with Dr. Harvey. Harvey and his daughter, Kat, move into the home in hopes to drive the ghosts out.

The CG used for the ghosts is phenomenal. Even in today's world, this CG stands up well to the rest. You can see through the ghosts, but at the same time they have a thickness to them. You will never complain about having a dated movie.

The relationship between Kat and Casper is the most interesting part in this movie. As an adult, the corny story telling will not keep the amused for long. Kat and Casper have a couple deep altercations. Casper asks Kat "Can I keep you," and Kat agrees. However, Casper tries to kiss Kat, but Kat only feels a chill. It is tragic.

If you are an adult Casper is worthless. If you are looking for a fun Halloween flick for your children, this is for you. There are a few derogatory words, but nothing a mature child cannot handle. Then again, Casper usually comes on television each Halloween. You might want to avoid this one on that note.
