Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters

Dir. Paul Feig

Columbia Pictures

The debate regarding the value of re-making classic films and re-launching iconic film franchises like Ghostbusters has been a contentious one. However, for those who are able to eschew measuring it against the 1984 original and accept it for what it is, then the film can be quite enjoyable. This film is a fun reimagining of an awesome premise meant to introduce new, younger fans to a great comedic film series, with the most striking difference being it’s all female leading cast. Filled gut with busting slapstick comedy and enough subtle references to the original to please old fans.
