I had a good giggle watching Ghostbusters again, and I recommend checking it out for an evening of turn-your-brain-off entertainment.

It remains as one of the more entertaining pieces of cinema of the previous decade.

See website for more details.

The comedy here is solid gold, Bill Murray is in peak form, and the effects are a lot of fun.
01/01/00
A screwy and mischievous movie fueled by endless reserves of comic energy
07/23/03
Dan Aykroyd's inventive comedy concept for Ghostbusters attracted an all-star comedy team to bust out an classic of mainstream '80s cinema.
08/05/05
Ghostbusters (1984) is the comedic tale of three ghost exterminators in the city of New York.
01/01/00
This movie is an exception to the general rule that big special effects can wreck a comedy.
10/23/04
Top CriticStuffed with wisecracking, punning and essential deadpanning care of the film's most notable star performer Murray (who has such delivery down as a fine art), the film also packs in a half-decent narrative.
05/06/08
The movie's tongue-in-cheek (and pre-subprime) satire of surging capitalist hubris is scarcely mitigated by the necessary fairy-tale ending.
08/05/09
The perfect Xer movie.
01/01/00
Essentially a $30 million version of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy but not at all a bad time, thanks mainly to Bill Murray's incredibly dry line readings and director Ivan Reitman's maintenance of a moderately coherent tone and plotline.
05/30/07
Top CriticMurray and scribe Ramis defy all logic and turn it into a movie you'd want to watch over and over.
09/10/02
There is more attention to special effects than to humor.
05/20/03
Top CriticReitman did well with his casting, turning in one of the most original comedies ever.
01/20/02
Whoever thought of having evil's final manifestation take the form of a 100-ft. marshmallow deserves the rational mind's eternal gratitude.
10/05/08
Top CriticFantastic all the way
03/02/08
The perfect marriage of big-budget sci-fi spectacle and character-based comedy schtick.
04/03/06
As entertaining today as it ever was, a classic to be treasured by all.
01/01/00
With his deadpan delivery and snide quips, Murray more than holds his own amid the myriad state-of-the-art special effects.
