A father who is better loved by his family after his death sounds like a good idea for a ghost story, even for a comedy ghost story, though it might have been better had Henry James written it. The good idea sounds less good as soon as we get a load of the assembled family: the mugging Cosby and three offspring of unnatural cuteness. (Poitier keeps affixing them with can't-help-himself closeups.)

For such a funny comedian Cosby has had a shitty career in film.

Leonard Part VII

Why did Bill Cosby feel compelled to act in really bad movies? Did someone drug his jell-o puddin' pops?

Even as a kid, I didn't think this movie was very entertaining. It's not that it was sad, which it kind of is, but it's the fact that it's so drawn out. They might as well have made a TV show out of it. Total crap!

This movie is for children, but I doubt that any have really liked, is so bad.

So bad it's shit.

Simply put, it's a movie worse than Leonard Part 6. Truly a sad concept for a story.

ok

I snorted twice. That's right, this movie drove me to cocaine. But really, I feel cheated. All these years of watching people poke fun at Ghost Dad, and then when I watch the movie they pull some garbage loophole so Cosby doesn't really die. So he's technically never a ghost. What a rip-off. I wanted dead Cosby.

Pretty poor ghost-spoof does provide some humor and charm in the person of Cosby. Special effects are fine, but the constant mugging wears thin.

Not a wonderful movie, but I have to admit that my family and I still quote several sections on a regular basis. It can be a good movie if you want to simply watch something ridiculous that you can laugh at (not with) for an evening.

Bleah but inoffensive. One clever joke. That's about it, really

Greatest ending ever created. Also, Sidney Poitiere? Really?

Some actors just do not transfer to the big screen well. Bill Cosby is one of those actors.
