Remember when I said that Jurassic Park ushered in an era of shitty CGI? Well among those movies was this one. And yeah I know it doesn’t really fit in with the rest of my reviews, but I like to review classics that make me nostalgic like this one.And now as an adult, I feel like I can watch it and fully understand it. This movie is about Casper trying to impress this girl Holly and shit, I mean there’s more to it like how he has to scare someone or be banished. But let’s sit back and relax, and enjoy this cheesy flick.

Highs!

Comedy: Fuck off, this movie is actually super funny to me and I think that it needs to be recognized for that. It is chock full of references and even semi-adult jokes. Why can’t I recognize it for that?





Plot: The plot of this movie is at least interesting like mentioned above Casper is supposed to scare someone, and he actually has to mean it.If he doesn’t do this he faces banishment into a dark void. So his cousin Spooky comes to help him scare someone. Sounds simple, I know, but holy shit it is so easy to understand and it accomplishes the bare minimum of being coherent. The best part is that it leaves a lot of room for jokes!



Horror Comedy: I know this is technically not horror but I consider it to be since it involves ghosts, and Kibosh (The Big Cheese) was actually terrifying as a kid. Or at the very least it was for me. Being so available to both audiences it makes this movie a no-brainer to put on for the younger ones but it can still be enjoyed by adults.

Lows!

Holly and her family: If the plot would’ve cut out this family entirely no-one would care or notice. It’s just an excuse to get Casper a friend/someone to fantasize about fucking. But this doesn’t really detract from the movie as I had a huge crush on the mom when I was a kid.

The CGI: Absolutely awful animation, I can usually look past it but usually, everyone looks super awful and I hate it. But at least it makes up for it in other ways. I just wish they would’ve made it live action like the other Casper movies, it would’ve been so much better!

Conclusion!

I didn’t think I would like this movie and I’m legitimately concerned with my mental health after realizing this fact. I wanted to rip it apart and make people laugh, but I really love it and if you’re reading this during Christmas and you have the ability you should try and get it, make a cup of coffee/hot chocolate and sit back and enjoy it.



You Should: Definitely Watch It!
