Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreGood films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreThe Ghost and Mrs Muir is based on the novel by R.A Dick and the 1947 film starring Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney. This is a gentle romantic comedy series and ran from 1968 until 1970. The series stars Hope Lange and Edward Mulhare.Sticking closely to the plot of the film,young widow Carolyn Muir(Hope Lange)moves to a cottage by the sea with her two young children and maid and cook Martha(Reta Shaw).Everything seems perfect until she discovers the house is haunted by the former owner, Naval officer Captain Gregg(Edward Mulhare).Only Carolyn,her son and a relative of the Captain's Claymore Gregg(Charles Nelson Reilly)can see or hear him.It leads to many comic moments.She and the Captain don't get on but over time they find a way to live together and eventually develop deep feelings for each other.There's much more to this though than laughs and Bewitched style special effects though.The touching love story between Carolyn and the Captain is tenderly handled and beautifully played by Mulhare and Lange,the two have terrific chemistry.If you've seen the film you're sure to love the series too.
... View MoreI would really like to see this 1968 TV series of the Ghost and Mrs Muir released on DVD. Was an excellent television show, and a wonderful take from the 1947 movie. I actually liked it far better than the original movie. The TV series had a bit more substance. All the characters were brilliant; including captain Gregg. Set in a most idyllic scenic place, with a beautiful seaside cottage as well, Gorgeous scenery and story lines made this series a fun, light-hearted feel-good show to watch and enjoy. would like to see the series again. So, how about it? will those that hold the rights to the series please release onto DVD.
... View MoreThis is a charming series, plain and simple. The nearly impossible love story between the titular characters is one that echoes in many more modern 'ships- such as Catherine and Vincent, Buffy and either vampire, and so forth. Yet, there is a sweetness to the story here that is often lacking in today's stories. Edward Mulhare was able to say more with his eyes and face than many actors can with a ten page script. Comparing it with the original book or movie is fairly pointless. The two share Gull Cottage, the Captain, and the name Muir, but much is changed for the series, and for the better. There is much more humor in the series and the characters are more vibrant. When I saw the movie, I was frankly disappointed in it. I just wish this show had lasted longer and would come out on DVD.
... View MoreThis is where I first remember being introduced to the comedy of Charles Nelson Reilly, a first-rate actor! This series kept me spellbound, with the usual fascination of ghosts and old houses as a young child, plus the great Hope Lange who would not be scared of this house and stood down the "old captain" that inhabited this house - and who in return had to deal with this new owner that would not go away! This is another show that should be brought back, and that never seems to be seen anymore, leaving one to wonder why this series is not brought back with its top-rate talent, and why the network was stupid enough to cancel this series after two seasons? Oh well, at least Charles Nelson Reilly was on Lidsville with Butch Patrick, so us kids could enjoy his comedy more after that!
