– By Cate Marquis –
GHOSTBUSTERS is that rarest thing – a remake that is as much fun as the original (some would say more) that also honors the memorable original. Take that, internet grumblers!
Fans who were worried about this remake can relax – the results are very funny. The comedy is great, and non-stop, packed with clever affectionate references to the original. The logo and the catchy theme song are back (with a few remixes added), and the goofy humor of battling ghosts with technology is all there.
This is the kind of film you hope to see in summer – a movie just for fun that truly entertains.
Kristen Wiig re-teams with her BRIDESMAIDS director Paul Feig and co-star Melissa McCarthy, for a hilarious romp that is like a superhero movie without the ponderous stuff.
