Movie Review for Parents - Our View

-by Allison

While parts of this movie might frighten younger children because of the ghouls and monsters -- we suggest waiting until your children are 9 and up before watching – it also will make you laugh and the whole family will be saying “Who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters!,” for days to come.

Ghostbusters is a timeless classic that is great for families with ‘tweens looking for a good laugh. It has an amazing cast of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and Harold Ramis. The actors, true artistic comedians, take on their roles 110 percent with witty timing evoking laughter time and again. If you haven't seen it yet, then be sure to do so. You will almost certainly be glad you did.
