Kameeon Okay now be fair, this is when alls said and done a kids film. I agree with the previous comment and so long as the kids enjoyed it that's what matters.I found the film enjoyable and even if there are continuity errors so what? This isn't any huge film like transformers it was classic casper it's supposed to be enjoyable not brilliant and thats what makes a film good and I have no doubts that this film is enjoyable.I feel no need to say anymore, don't apply large standards to it, this is one of the best casper films there is, it's fine for what it is, I say 7 although I'm very tempted to give it a 10 to bring the score back up it does not deserve as low as it has.
Herbert_West_Reanimator This is the kind of schlock film you either love or hate. Actually, you can't even hate it, as it's so thin that theres not even enough of a plot to hate. The plot was thrown together, the cast was thrown together, but the quality is thrown-out altogether. As has been stated before, the only thing this film has going for it is that it's Hillary Duff's debut, like One Million Years B.C, was Raquel Welch's debut. Both actresses must be equally embarrased over their debut flicks. Unfortunately, unlike "One Million Years BC," "Wendy Meets Caspar" is just simply bad, as in forgettably poor. Boring. Transparent and far too thin to generate any interest or comment about the actual cast or plot at all. Face it, its just bad, but not nearly bad enough to become a classic for its lack of quality.Think of it as a extended episode of the old "ABC Afternoon Special" and "ABC Weekend Special" childrens programmes that sporadically aired a decade or so ago. The film might be useful to keep the kids out of your hair for awhile, but don't expect any entertainment.
Saturns_Illusionist I thought that it would get better, but a bad movie only got worse. At several points I actually was embarrassed for the movie while watching it, but you know how "time invested" goes. I kept hoping that it might get better. The acting was horrible. Unfortunately, she was surrounded my incompetent actors/actresses and an obviously horrible director. Whoever gave this horrible film anywhere between 6-10 stars has only seen about three movies in their life. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. With relentless emotional manipulation piled on top of wooden acting & a dreadful script. See how bad the world treats Wendy. See how good this young witch is to her ghost friend. How pure her love, how corrupt & selfish the "normal" witches/ghosts are. Blah blah blah. Pass me that empty popcorn bag, I'm gonna barf. It isn't that the story hasn't got a point, but that it is horrifically overplayed, the message being delivered in industrial amounts. It's like expecting a teaspoon of sugar in your coffee & getting 8lbs of salt dumped in it instead.T he clumsy manipulation isn't limited to the script, with wooden, cliched characterization & horrible directorial tricks. The budget couldn't have been more than $1000. The lighting and sound qualities were just awful, just horrible. The special effects were cheesy and cheap. Everything seems not to be this film's strong point & wherever there is a chance to drive a point home with a sledgehammer the opportunity is taken to do so with obvious enthusiasm. Horrible cast. Terrible cliche plot. Lame lame lame lame lame jokes (if you can even call them jokes). This movie is the reason ABC is the worst network on television. George Hamilton is simply diabolically bad, unconvincing and puke inducing as Desmond Hamilton. Teri Garr ambles through looking like she's smelt something bad. The rest of the cast simply wallow around, subsumed by the crushing sentimentality.This whole film stinks. Hilary does not shine in this film. Whoever says that she's a good actress has only seen three movies in their life. She's downright atrocious. She makes funny or unnecessary facial expressions. And I'm not going to give her a break because she was 11. I feel very very very very very very very very very sorry for the people who think this film is excellent and gave it ten or nine stars and think Hilary shines in this film. When you consider how many great film ideas never get anywhere you have to wonder just how this pile of dog poop ever got on to the screen. I gave it a "1" on the IMDB voting, but I would have given it a big, fat zero if I could have.
Emilie i saw through the plot like you see through casper. the first one was the coolest, and maybe the second one, but definitely not the third. like the austin powers francise, you are bound to have a stinker, and this one was it. hilary duff was being told to do this flick, since it is so obvious to me that she was clueless on what her character's stupid jokes meant. tv producers just wanted to get her name out on the mainstream, and that one didnt help, since she's moved on to better things... So, wendy the famous witch from the same company that made casper, meets casper and has fun with him while getting witches and ghosts to combine their powers. what a bunch of garbage, and the corny jokes that are supposed to make the other characters feel dumb and ignorant made the person saying them ignorant. not a laugh was stirring in me at all. the laughing urge wasnt there at all. casper is a cute ghost, and the other three are good too, but leave the dead to rest in peace and if you really need a casper fix, watch the first two or read the comics.
