    This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

    The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

    I personally love this show and honestly think it's exactly what nickelodeon needed. After a series of multiple failed nick shows such as: Marvin Marvin, Fred the Show, Bucket and Skinner, Wendell and Vinnie and How To Rock. I think The Haunted Hathaways is a winner. I like it because it is fresh, funny and unique! I think it is the first Nick show to be centered around ghosts. Another thing is the acting, all the main cast are pretty much all great actors although do sometimes overact a bit. I understand this show may not be as funny as previous nick shows such as victorious, icarly and drake and josh but its still entertaining and fairly funny, i don't understand why it has such low ratings and so many bad reviews? Overall i love this show and can watch it for hours. I hope for the best and wish it keeps airing for a long time. This show stars: Amber Montana as Taylor Hathaway, Curgis Harris as Myles Preston, Benjamin Flores Jr as Louie Preston, Breanna Yde as Frankie Hathaway, Genifer King as Michelle Hathaway and Chico Beynon as Ray Preston

    OK so I have watched the first 4 shows and this is exactly what Nick needed !! Its a family friendly show, and I couldn't be happier they mixed the races up.I have a blended family and now my kids can finally feel accepted as people on TV live like they do! Love the jokes, love the sentiment, the writing is exceptional.Every actor pulls their weight on the show.The Teen girl played by Montana delivers the goods with her very real and natural ability and spot on comedic timing.The mother played by King is obviously a Broadway trained actress, she is fantastic and funny as ever.The two little kids are hysterical and get the jokes, and the dad ( Benymon) is a pro.Some people just can't accept that were in 2013 and shows from the 90's are outdated.This show brings the funny !! A plus

    It seems as if nickelodeon is on the downhill slide as far as shows go these last couple seasons. The Haunted Hathaways is just in a long line of poor writing, poor acting, and poor editing. I barely made it through a 30 minute time slot before shutting the TV off in relief, but felt I should have to make it through at least one episode before reviewing.Basically, a mother and her two daughters move into a home haunted by a man and his two sons. Certainly not a new premise. Perhaps the worst portion of the show is the writing. The lines are cheesy and cliché and delivered by utterly terrible actors and actresses. Each failed joke and over exaggerated motion is accompanied by canned laughter from a pitiful laugh track. Not far on its heels is the acting itself. Each line is squealed or screamed or delivered with excess facial expression and hand motion. I cringed watching the Awkward and unnatural interactions between the characters.In short, I don't recommend this TV show for anyone, not even the littlest kids.

    This is only based on the 30-minute series debut.This show is extremely mediocre and unimpressive. The premise is that there is a family comprised of a teenage daughter, a smart little girl, and their recently- divorced, single mother. They move into a place in New Orleans where the mother can manage a shop on the first floor while they live above the shop. The building is haunted by a family of ghosts, a single father and his two sons, a teenager who wants friends and a little boy who can't control his ghostly powers well. The ghosts don't want to share their home with the humans; chaos ensues.To start, the jokes in this show are abysmal. They're the kinds of jokes that only appeal to little children, not even teenagers or kids on the brink of teenage years. There was a long sequence in the first episode that comprised of a fart joke (surprise, surprise) that went on for about thirty straight seconds, and the laugh track went on the whole time. It wasn't funny; it was actually pretty gross and exaggerated to an extreme that's even ridiculous for Nickelodeon.The characters? They're pretty interesting, I guess. I like the fact that it's not just another show taking place in an unrealistically lavish house or apartment in a lavish part of town (usually somewhere in California) with flawless teenagers. That's where the extra 2 stars come from; it has an original setting.But the ACTORS. The actors are not good at all. Every single one of them tries way too hard to elicit laughs from the audience by overacting, even the grown woman, the mom. The teenage girl, specifically, almost laughs when she's delivering some lines. The actors have over-dramatic facial expressions and excessively exaggerated movements (only when they're trying to be funny, like when the teenage ghost is "dancing"), shout too much, and almost seem like they're rushing through the script to reach the "joke."Even worse than the actors are the special effects. The teenage girl is supposed to be a gifted gymnast. Sometimes, she spontaneously does gym tricks, like answering the door by doing several flips and somersaults to get there, but it looks like they replace her with CGI or something when she's supposedly doing these flips; it looks extremely awkward, VERY cringe-worthy. When a character is supposedly moving in fast motion, he or she is followed by a stream of purple lines that look like they came from a cartoon.So... I'm not impressed yet. Maybe if you have an 8 to 11-year-old kid or something, they'll enjoy this. I probably would have at that age. I really wanted to like this show; Nickelodeon has been on a losing streak for awhile now, and I wanted this to be their recovery, but the show is just weak. I don't see it lasting for more than one season.
