Ghost Dad (1990)
Tagline:
America's Favorite Dad in a Spirited Comedy!
Get it? Spirited?
Anyways, if you were thinking to yourself while watching
Bill Cosby on his
sitcom, "I wonder what it would be like if he was
dead..." then this is the movie for you. Bill Cosby,
Elliot, is having trouble
finding time for his family. His kids are getting
depressed about it, especially his
son who is quite
upset with him. His
cynical eldest daughter basically has to
parent the rest of the
children.
One day, Elliot is hit by a car after falling from a bridge.
He
mysteriously is still able to walk around but with "ghostly"
consequences. He is able to
walk through walls but he can't be seen in
daylight. He struggles to
maintain his
job and
reunite with his
family, and actually begins to enjoy his
newfound powers but will his fooling around hurt his family? (
yes.)
In my opinion this movie was...
cute. I would watch it if it was playing on
network television but I wouldn't pay to see it in a
movie theatre. Know what I mean? It's not a movie that you will
quote in your
daily life, but you will
chuckle pretty hard while watching it.
