Ghostbusters

No one’s arguing that Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters needed a makeover. Hollywood is facing a serious shortage of creative ideas that shows no sign of stopping any time soon and Paul Feig’s attempt to remake a beloved ‘80s movie is yet further proof of this theory. Thank Zuul then that this oestrogen-driven vehicle is surprisingly good fun and far more entertaining than some of the male-dominated blockbusters we’ve had to endure of late. The gags are snappy, the bustin’ is zany, all while paying respectful homage to the original movie and even its animated series. It’s far from becoming a classic, but the four seriously funny leads have earned their jumpsuits and the keys to that all too familiar firehouse building.
