Ghostbusters (2006)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Paul Feig
Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones
Running Time: 116 minutes

 


A group of four New York women interested in the supernatural, with their incompetent male assistant, form a ghost hunting business to rid their city of malevolent forces terrorizing it.

This was a reboot of the original franchise. I might get labeled as a misogynist for saying so, but I hated this movie. I like McCarthy and Wiig, but the material they were given here was subpar. The filmmakers were probably too busy cashing in on the girl-power aspect to bother create some good stuff for these talented women to perform on screen. It felt like an overly long SNL skit, with very lame one-dimensional characters. The only good thing about this film is that it ended.
