"I've only been with the
company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you: these
things are real. Since I joined these men,
I have seen shit that'll turn you white! – Winston Zeddemore
Why watch this?
It may be the best SNL-cast film ever. It's delightfully creative and fun!
Plot Summary:
Three eccentric parapsychologists are fired from their
university jobs and decide to start a unique ghost removal
service in New York City. As supernatural occurrences escalate
throughout the city, they attract a growing clientele and become
famous. They must ultimately confront an ancient entity
threatening to unleash destruction upon the world.
Dad's Preview:
I remember seeing this in a theater in Dimmitt, Texas. I was
completely beside myself. It was way more sophisticated than I
expected, especially from a couple of SNL lugnuts like Murray and Aykroyd. I
realized that these guys were more than just TV comedians - they were
real movie-makers, and the world was about to take notice.
Once again, Sigourney Weaver shows that she can portray any role
given and, with grace and strength, make it her own.
