Personal Thoughts: Ghost Dad is another Tuesday on Tape MVP. This movie looks like a bad family comedy. Well, it kind of is. What makes the movie shine is the excellent performance by Bill Cosby. The writers and director let Bill Cosby go wild, and it shows. This is good stuff.
Bill Cosby plays a dad who winds up a ghost. This may be the most likable character ever! His likability resulted in a full Likable Characters score, despite there being no other likable characters in the movie. When I'm 50 and turn into a ghost dad, I hope to be as cool as Bill Cosby is in Ghost Dad.
This movie would have definitely hit the full points category if it had more previews and some B&T. Unfortunately, it didn't. Thus, it isn't the perfect tape. What do you expect from a Bill Cosby family flick? Either way, you owe it to yourself to watch it if you ever run across a copy.
