what we have here be another modern classic which look much good when it come out and but fail to stand the test of time . or probably it depend on the age of the audience and who know . anyway and ghost be a rather long and predictable story about supernatural love and vengeance from the grave . however the best part of the movie be what be probably mean a comedy relief and to build up the tension for the romantic moment . it not a good sign when the secondary plot take the cake and relegate the core of the story to a role of pretty but shallow dressing . furthermore and the mysterious killer story be so predictable it ruin whatever interest it might have have . and the love story and sorry and but i just couldn not find a good reason to care about sam and molly . who be they . why be they in love to the point of get involve in a threesome with a potter wheel . ghost and a a love story and fall short in term of character development . a a murder story be too predictable . so it at it best a a comedy . not totally intentional i suppose . whoopi goldberg a the charlatan medium be really funny and and she manage to give some depth to an otherwise stereotypical fat black woman . and oda mae be the best character of the movie and by a mile and just to underline how poor the effort in character creation be . the production be fine and and the script pave the way to a plethora of romantic drama and romantic comedy in the following decade . to this day and ghost enjoy a vast popularity and despite it obvious shortcoming . a tribute to the smart people behind the movie and or to the gullibility of the public and always ready to reach for a kleenex at the first hint of a troubled . yet formulaic and love story . either way and ghost look good but taste bad at every further screening .
