You don't have to see it to believe that this film is just "OK"..., 2 September 2003
Author: MovieAddict2009 from UK

Nice "family" film about ghosts (real quality family entertainment) who live in an old mansion. One of them, Casper, is not a bad ghost, and he embraces Kat (Christina Ricci) and her father (Bill Pullman) when they move into the house. Good special effects, interesting adaptation of the Harvey comic, and good cast (including a cameo from a Ghostbuster himself), but this film really just remains OK because it fails to come above the material. Followed by very unnecessary sequels.

3/5 stars -
