Actors win awards for playing people with afflictions or other such grandstanding, and Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar with "Ghost" for her amusing portrayal of a psychic con artist, but it is work like what Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore pull…

👻 "Ghost scares man" is a tired old trope. Turn it around, and you've got "Man scares ghost," a whole nother story, and that's what we've got here, a neat supernatural comedy with a moral lesson on top of it. The script is a neat trick,…

We have watched this movie at least 6 times before. While I am not a huge fan of Demi Moore, feel that Patrick Swayze often gave very shallow character portrayals, this movie worked. Performances of several minor roles are truly superb.…

After reading all the comments, I can say the movie is viewed from different perspectives. I just needed a laugh, and since I love romance and love stories, I think both were complementary in this film.
I love Patrick, Whoopi, and Demi;…

If I had reviewed this film back in the early 90's, I probably would have given it four stars; maybe even five. I was so mesmerized by this love story, that I never saw the violence or the ridiculousness of it. Patrick Swayze is very good…
I guess I must be a totally heartless S.O.B. - 'Cause Ghost's story pretty much left me as cold and as emotionally empty as a cadaver.
To say that my initial interest in this film's potentially promising story wore out at warp-speed…

Directed by Jerry Zucker in 1990, this American romantic fantasy depicts an unbelievable romance of a young woman and the ghost of her murdered lover.
With a willing suspension of disbelief, this romance appears amusing, touching and…

It's actually pretty good, especially considering how corny the premise is.
All the performances are very sincere, especially Demi Moore's, so you can actually suspend disbelief and accept the concept of what you are watching. Much…

I am stunned people like this movie....IT IS SO BAD. The best scene is in the first 5 minutes in the elevator, at least that was funny. Besides the terrible 80s hair and style it's such a ridiculous movie. Whoopi is always great but…

An exceptional film with romantic, supernatural, and mystery themes, with two leads at their best. The audience gets to like them straight off, which makes us sympathetic to them when death enters the picture. The direction and…
