Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

den-86397 This movie had a weird feel to it - I loved it - the 80's feel and music, the lovable Lewis - several of the reviewers got the plot wrong - it was fast paced - didn't leave you bored in places, waiting for the movie to pick up again. I felt the acting was quite good - the lead actors were just plain old kids, they had ambition, wanted to make their dream of movie-making come true, and had to figure out how to finance it. The ghost was an additional problem suddenly thrown into the mix - I loved the sets - the gadgets -

demedici-3 Re. Ghost Chase (or, Hollywood Monster).I had the pleasure of seeing the film on video today. And survived it.A principal problem -- perhaps part and parcel of severe budget problems -- is that the principal ghost figure, Louis, looks like a big rubber doll and the trick with his British accent is no fun at all.All the characters play in three speeds: frantic, more frantic, most frantic, and we never see them functioning as real people (as one of your responders mentions). The ending is hysterical and hyperactive and without much head or tail to it. Why didn't they die in the next to last shot? A principal loss suggested above is that the sympathy which makes one forget many flaws in a story is missing, as the characters, good or bad or indifferent, are not three dimensional in any way. The girl's workplace is a sole exception.Best, demedici

Shawn Watson It's weird how the writer/director of such exciting blockbusters such as ID4 and The Patriot could create such a strange film. I'll try my hardest to recount the plot. Two ultra-cheap filmmakers (art reflects life) have a great idea for a movie and rope in an unwilling but attractive starlet and make up a Muppet-like monster based on the photographs of a long-dead grandfather's butler. A rival studio producer wants to blow up the grandfather's house as the climax to his big budget movie so the butler's ghost comes back to possess the Muppet doll to lead them to hidden billions in the cellar.It's not a bad film, by no means, it's quite cringe-worthy in places but inconsistently entertaining. There are no big name stars or SFX but that is made up for with bizarre plotting and storyline. This film is more in the style of Roland Emmerich in his Making Contact/Moon 44 days. But if he had the budget he gets these days who knows what this film might have ended up as. I give it 6/10 for weirdness, plot and defying convention.

priest.21 this movie exemplifies the captivating adventure a ridiculous ghost/beast to can add to a somewhat atrocious plot. this ghost is a recipe for fun and comedy as jason lively and friends search for the MILLIONS. as this high-tailed hilarity becomes almost unbearable, this fun loving ghost materializes and just about makes you choke on your own laughter. fun for children and senior citizens, but not middle aged soccer moms. what makes this even better.....jason lively is the pompous idiot from european vacation, only now he has a mullet! pure casting genius! amen.
