We Have A Ghost
It’s “Casper” meets “The Ghost Whisperer” when a family moves into their new home only to discover it’s haunted. A not-so-unfriendly ghost (David Harbour) wearing a bowling shirt labeled Ernest seems more confused than scary. The dad, Frank (Anthony Mackie), is a failing entrepreneur type who tries to capitalize on this ghostly sensation when it breaks the internet. His grumpy disagreeable son, Kevin, and the wacky neighbor girl, Joy, form a Scooby Gang to help out poor “Ernest”. It’s a crazy adventure story that’s more comedy & drama than horror. The plot takes a few surprise turns with even the CIA getting involved. Behind this goofy plot is a heartfelt story connecting parents & their children.
Alien gives it 2½ “Junebug” stars out of 4.
