Big new Ghostbusters movie and... only about a dozen or so people at the premier? Apparently no-one cares.
So there's this MacGuffan ball that contains an old and powerful ghost... but never mind! Phoebe is have teenager's problems (due to being a minor). And Paul Rudd wants to be a parental role. And... the other kid is facing off against a ghost and... the previous Ghostbusters are here. All over the movie. More than cameo, but I can't really say relevant to the movie. Indeed... I'd be hard pressed to say a lot is relevant to the movie. There is a lot of setup in this movie. In fact, this movie is mostly set up. The final act feels very low key...
It's like they wanted to do an emotional movie, but had too many characters to flick around, and also had to staple a ghost movie onto it. This movie is very slow, and the ghost side is more backdrop than anything of import we needed a movie for.
Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd are front and center in this movie, not being daughter and dad. The old Ghostbusters are around, and clearly the movie cares about them, but they really are cluttering up the place. Oh, and James Acaster is in this. I was not expecting him... speaking of characters cluttering up the place...
There is a potentially good movie in this, but you'll need to edit away the rest of it.
