“Director Jason Reitman does his father and fans proud with a funny, sweet, and spooky family movie.”~Rosie Knight, IGN

Aroview: The fourth Ghostbusters movie with much of the original cast reappearing alongside fresh young faces, directed and co-written by Jason Reitman (JUNO), the son of original director IVAN REITMAN.

After the female-led 2016 reboot was panned by die-hard fans (because y'know, women aren't funny), this one plays it safe, delivering a nostalgic throwback to the first two movies and imitating the style of STRANGER THINGS in the service of familiar material. Still, it's big-hearted, kid-centric fun which gets the balance of comedy and horror just right.
