I really wanted to hate this movie! I didn’t
think they should be messing with a classic and I loved the original! I’m so sick of movies being remade and nobody
being able to have an original idea anymore!!!
So, I have to say I was disappointed in this one because I actually
enjoyed it. They didn’t try to recreate
the original so much as maybe pay tribute to it with a kind of “goofy” version
of the original. It was different having
all women as the ghostbusters and there were little cameos by most of the
original actors, which I thought was very cool!
I still like the original 100 times better, but this was actually kind
of fun and might have just been what I was needing at the time. I didn’t want to, but I’m glad I watched this
version.

I don’t know the last time I’ve had a movie “speak” to me like this one! I’d been waiting for it to come out on DVD
ever since I’d heard about it – and was really curious how Eddie Murphy would
be, since it seemed like he has been going further and further downhill with
every movie he’d done lately. Set in
1965, he plays Henry Church, a man who has been hired to cook and take care of
a mother that is battling cancer and her 10-year old daughter, Charlie. What was originally intended to be a 6-month
job turned into a much longer time than any of them had anticipated. Whether he was trying to or not, he became a
father figure to Charlie and helped her navigate through life when she really
didn’t have anyone else, forming an amazing bond for both of them. This was such an incredible, emotional
feel-good story that I can’t wait until I get to watch it again – even though
I’ve already seen it twice!
