Sing along with me; I know you probably know the words by heart:
“If there's something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!
If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!
I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost"
Some of you may know the whole song by heart—it’s such a fun song. This catchy, infectious tune was written and performed by Ray Parker Jr. It was made famous by the original Ghostbusters movie in 1984.
In case you didn't know, the films in the Ghostbusters franchise are:
1984 Ghostbusters
1989 Ghostbusters II
2021 Ghostbusters: Afterlife
2024 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Yes, there was a Ghostbusters film made in 2016, but just erase that one from your mind; that was an unsuccessful experiment…. never to be tried again. Now, if you haven't seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife, you may want to watch it before seeing this latest entry into the franchise. It introduces you to new characters and gives you background information about them that is good to know for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
This film is classified as a comedy/fantasy. It is directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote the film with Jason Reitman. Gil Kenan is best known for directing the film Monster House, which was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature. Some of the cast members include Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is such an enjoyable movie! The writers did a great job with the story. It is full of adventure, laughter, and nostalgia. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours.
Some of you may have seen the commercial that's being shown to promote the movie, which features the Manning brothers, Payton and Eli. They get to suit up in the iconic jumpsuit, don a proton pack, and join the Ghostbusters. It's a really cool advertisement. Wouldn't it be fun to be a Ghostbuster for a day? While it may not be possible for us to be a Ghostbuster for even a little while, we can sit back, relax, and watch as Ghostbusters new and old unite and entertain us.
Lastly, as to the question of whether you should take your children to see this movie, I would say this: Yes! Yes! Yes! It was delightful. It is rated PG-13 for supernatural action and violence, language, and suggestive references. If you have children who are scared of anything related to ghosts, the supernatural, or scary monsters, this may not be a film for them. Parents, I'd love to know what your thoughts on this are. Let me know in the comments.
I give it 5/5 “Charms”
