Casper (Widescreen Special Edition)
This 1995 family film tries to put a fun spin on the story of a paranormalist and widower (Bill Pullman) who moves into a new house with his daughter (Christina Ricci) and meets up with the ghost of a dead little boy. Based on the comic book about Casper the friendly ghost, the film is a dreary series of awkward interactions between live actors and computer effects, and you can almost see Pullman and Ricci reconsidering the project while on camera. A few cameo appearances from uncredited stars help things a bit. But there's no way, based on this film, that one could have guessed that its director, Brad Silberling, would go on to make the exceptional drama City of Angels. --Tom Keogh

Ghosts can be sweet too.
rating: 4
Casper starring Bull Pullman and Christina Ricci is a childhood delight. I enjoyed this feel-good comedy as a young teen and still do. Ricci's performance is so under-stated, she can definitely hold her own. Pullman on the other hand is not a good actor but he's pretty believable in this film. Devon Sawa is such a babe in Casper, too bad his beautiful face doesn't show up 'til the end of the film. I highly recommend this ghostly caper, enjoy!

reasonably good kids film, fun cast
rating: 4
We got this a month ago for Halloween because our 4 year old really wanted it. We've enjoyed it as a family, decent rendition of classic Casper story, with a great cast. There are definitely parts that are a bit too scary for our 4 yr old, though. She wants to see it but is scares her and gives her occasional nightmares, so we've shelved it for awhile.
Effects are good, plot is a bit plodding and comedy is very broad, but the kids don't mind that. Casper coming alive at the end is better than you'd think, Cristina Ricci is fun and likeable, cameos are great.
A good family film for over 5's to perhaps tweens.
