| Of all the Casper movies, this one is definitely my favorite. Live action was the next step for Casper, and they definitely nailed it. The story is not only cute, but moving. I love it! |

| Casper was always one of my favorites as a child, and this movie adaptation of the series didn't disappoint. The only thing I can say about this movie that is negative is that some of the language was inappropriate for smaller children. The premise of a man trying to help ghosts with their psychological issues is wonderful, considering the fact that his wife had recently passed away, and it explains his need to prove to himself that the after-life exists. Christina Ricci is adorable in this film, she is the ivory soap/sweet heart next door and you can't beat that in a children's film. Again, the only negative I can say is that some of the language is coarse, not right out swearing, but coarse and not always what I would consider appropriate for small children, but the movie overall is great. |

| I think this movie is really good. Casper was one of my favorite cartoon characters and this movie was made really well. My daughter loves it, and I can admit I like this move also. |

Casper is a character that has existed in our minds and our hearts for over 70 years in comic strips and cartoons. Finally, in the year 1995 we are treated to our first live action incarnation of this fantastic character. With the help of Christina Ricci and some exceptionally sweet voice acting by Malachi Pearson we are given a highly enjoyable, highly loveable family picture that teaches us an important message of friendship, family and most important of all moving on while still holding onto the memories of the loved ones we have lost.
The story focuses around despicable idiots Carrigan (Cathy Moriarty) and Dibbs (Eric Idle) and their quest to find the treasure hidden in a rundown old mansion left to Carrigan in her fathers will. The biggest problem facing Carrigan and Dibbs about Whipstaff Manor are the ghosts that inhabit it. Fatso, Stinkie and Stretch are 3 of the 4 ghosts that inhabit the manor and they're not too pleasant to be encountered by. Casper is the 4th ghost and isn't like the other 3, he just wants a friend to play with so he uses Carrigans plan to have ghost psychiatrist James Harvey (Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Ricci) move in.
Ricci was about 15 at the time of the making of this and although it wasn't an Oscar winning role, she certainly played the part of the disgruntled teenager well. The character of Casper was exceptionally sweet and not in an overbearing or sickening way as is the case with most movies based around the sweet characters. Luckily that sweetness is covered a lot for the cynical members of society thanks to the obnoxious uncles Fatso, Stinkie and Stretch and the criminal idiocy of Carrigan and Dibbs.
This is a film packed with childish clichés we have all come to know and love, such as the basics of courtesy and friendship. The usual slapstick humour we come to expect is also there and is helped by the characteristics of the ghostly uncles, Fatso in particular. Although that character may not be very PC today, there's no doubting that at the time the character was simply put in place to be the threatening big character who turned out to be quite laughable. The interractions between Casper and Kat are sometimes flawless and on a personality level is actually quite heart wearming. Some of the interractions thanks to the believable acting of Ricci make you think that she is really talking to a large headed ghost, and he is really making them breakfast.
Talking of interractions, the CGI is something to really shout about as for the time this film was made CGI specialised such as this had never been seen before. The interractions between the CG animated ghost and reality are flawless to say the least. Food interraction, communication between the actors and the ghost characters and other general interractions between CGI and reality are truly without flaw.
Casper is an enjoyable character and the whole message of passing over in regards to the ghosts is very special indeed. I highly applaud this film for managing to competently put across what some people would consider a sickeningly sweet storyline, and making it an enjoyable experience for the entire family to thoroughly enjoy. One particular part of the film which I loved was the cameo of Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson and Rodney Dangerfield.
I would highly recommend this film and its sequels, although I haven't seen the sequels myself but I'm sure they would be good. |
