Ghostbusters

[Answer the Call]
Oct 15, 2016LPL_FisherA rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
In this 2016 film by Paul Feig, a new group of paranormal investigators answers the call to take down a supernatural threat that could destroy the entire city. This new version of Ghostbusters succeeds because it has genuinely scary moments (I think I jumped out of my chair three times), outlandish comedy, plenty of heart, and pays homage to the source material while still placing its own unique stamp on the universe. Don't listen to the critics on this one and instead see the film to judge its merit for yourself. My one criticism is that given the talent involved, I wish that all of the jokes would have landed better (I'm looking at you Melissa McCarthy). Kate McKinnon steals the spotlight as the zany Holtzmann and will have you wanting to grab a tube of Pringles, strap on your oldest pair of overalls, and dance to DeBarge.
