    4 out of 5 stars A great movie for the whole family.   April 25, 2009
    Adam Wafer
    Ghost Dad is a hilarious movie. Even better, the whole family can watch it. I'd recommend it.


    5 out of 5 stars A Good Family-Movie.   July 25, 2008
    Roberto Vitale (Orlando, FL USA)
    Unsophisticated but well made and entertaining. It is a very-good silly comedy for the whole family. It is what you would typically expect of Bill Cosby, who carries most of the movie on his shoulders.




    1 out of 5 stars Complete and Utter Nonsense   June 26, 2006

    I must say that I don't understand the reviews giving this movie 4 or 5 stars. Its almost as if they're talking about a different movie.

    I am a big Bill Cosby fan, but there is almost nothing about this movie that is worth watching. The premise itself is hard enough to believe, what makes it worse is when the rules of how Cosby's non-corporeal self communicates and interacts with the real world seem to change at the writer's whim. There is absolutely no logic governing how this happens. Why, for example, can he walk through walls but is able to pick up a scotch bottle ? How is it possible for him to talk on the telephone ? For that matter how is it possible for anyone except his children to hear him when he talks ? There are no answers to these questions, because its obvious the writers were just making it up as they went along.

    Bill Cosby is a great television actor but his movie career leaves much to be desired (Leonard Part 6 anyone ?), this movie is one example why.



    4 out of 5 stars very funny and touching   February 5, 2006

    i have always been a fan of bill cosby's tv show and i really
    like this movie but some parts are so boring it makes me want to go to sleep. the funniest parts hnappen after he dies and
    comes back as a ghost. my favorite parts are when he's in the car with his daughter and tony ricker played by dana ashbrook
    comes over to the car and gets in and my other favorite is the part when bill comes threw the phone and starts to chock tony
    for calling his daughter a bitch. all i have to say is if dana
    ashbrook wasn't in this movie i wouldn't have watched it ( no affence to bill cosby) but dana is the only one that makes this
    movie watchable for me.



    3 out of 5 stars Love the movie...Some problems with the DVD   February 5, 2006

    First I will start by saying that I love this movie. I was excited to get it on DVD. The thing that left me perplexed was how scenes were deleted from the DVD. I was disappointed by that. They added a few scenes, but I felt the gap when a part I knew well was skipped. I'm not sure what I feel about that.
