This movie used to be played constantly on the Disney Channel when I was a bit younger, and I really remember liking it. However, I didn't have great taste back then (not to say that I do now) so I can't vouch for my nine-year-old self too well. The movie was probably a 7/10 but it had some good music so I gave it an extra point. Yeah, worth watching. I know that some fans of this movie are wondering what a certain song is - the one that appears when she is in the car crash. The song is "Play a Love Song" by the Jaguars and it is VERY hard to find and obtain. In fact, this movie is, too. I can't find it anywhere online or on DVD or on VHS. I'd like to see it again so I can gauge if it was actually a good movie. Oh well.

"Susie Q" is a very enjoyable film that is funny and hilarious. Justin Whalin, Amy Jo Johnson, and Shelley Long are great in the film. The film is like a mystery, but is also a comedy. This is a very enjoyable and entertaining film. I give this film a 7 out of 10. :)

I'll be brief: I normally hate films like this venomously ... but there is just something about this one that just draws me in and won't let me go. Granted, there are some major flaws in it (some of the acting is below par at best and the dialogue is sometimes so poor it's funny) but there are enough redeeming features to make it watchable to the end.But what are they? Well, it's got a cool little plot - by no means is it original, but it is better presented than other films of its kind. The three main stars (Whalin, Johnson, Long) put in fairly decent performances that more than make up for the distinct lack of quality from the supporting cast (the fat cop and Coach Quinn really bugged me), and the scripting is slick and witty (even if it is poor in places).The bottom line is, though, this film is so CUTE: I grinned all the way through it and it has a place in my video collection purely because it could cheer up anybody. You really have to be some kind of humourless bore not to like this (I DARE somebody to sit through this without grinning!!!).I do recommend this one if you want a simple, fun, and - above all - enjoyable watch. You won't regret it!~Top$~

There is a moment in this film when Justin Whalin's character tries to get Amy Jo Johnson's character (the film's namesake ghost) to stop following him everywhere. No one can see or hear the ghost but him, and because of this she won't leave him alone. Walking along a sidewalk with the ghost on his heels, the boy abruptly whirls and tells her enough is enough, leave him alone. He tries to soften the blow by saying that ordinarily he'd be thrilled to have a beautiful girl following him around."Do you really think I'm beautiful?" the ghost replies, in a small and trembling voice. For that single moment I saw what the film had the potential to be. The tragedy of Johnson's character, a non-person stuck in a world that has no place for her, is momentarily brought into sharp focus as she reacts to this connection with the living boy.However, the film does little to expand on this theme, instead preferring dime-store sentimentality and slapstick comedy. The film is still decent entertainment for the kids, and the two leads have enough sex appeal to keep the adults in the room for awhile. However, it's a shame the filmmakers didn't have the courage to delve a little deeper.
