Ghostbusters + MIB = Evolution: Funnest movie of the Summer!!, 11 June 2001
Author: mgayoso

So far, this has to be the funnest movie of the summer. Director Ivan Reitman got MIB & Ghostbusters and smashed them together and found himself a perfect comedy. The cast works perfectly and the Aliens were amazing. Great Special FX. If you want to have a blast at the movies, don't miss this one.
