Common Sense Media
Paranormal fun for tweens and up; some scares.

Total Film
The leads' chemistry is almost, well, spooky, Dan Aykroyd's nerdy enthusiasm rubbing deliciously against a persona-perfecting turn from Bill Murray - and there's even the odd surprise.

Slant Magazine
The movie's tongue-in-cheek (and pre-subprime) satire of surging capitalist hubris is scarcely mitigated by the necessary fairy-tale ending.

This movie is an exception to the general rule that big special effects can wreck a comedy.

The often dazzling, special effects-driven slapstick tends to overshadow the fact that there are some slyer, more sophisticated laughs on offer in this blockbusting family comedy.

Flipside Movie Emporium
For six months in 1984, no one could escape this film; only when the hype died down could its wit and humor be appreciated.

Antagony & Ecstasy
A comedy first, a horror film second... but a successful enough hybrid of those things that it would be wrong to try to limit it generically.

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