Thoughts;
This movie wasn't bad in the beginning. Personally I like Kristin Wigg and Melissa McCarthy and together they are pretty funny and work off each other well.
The beginning of the movie is there to set up the rest of the movie, which was fine. It made total sense for this, it was the middle to end of the movie where so much could have been cut out. It just seemed too long.
Creepy dude releasing ghosts, turns himself into a ghost, makes a big ghost, the ladies with all their gadgets save the day.
I did like the cameos from the original. Most times I'm ok with remakes, although I feel it's what film makers do when they don't have any original thoughts. This movie was simply ok.
