Bill Cosby mugs so uncontrollably that it looks as if he may be the victim of a muscular disorder in the inane and unfunny Ghost Dad. Cosby plays Elliot, a workaholic widower with three children -- Danny (Salim Grant), Amanda (Brooke Fontainbe), and the teenage Diane (Kimberly Russell). Elliot is hoping to close a big deal that will mean a promotion, more money, and lots of perks, but a cab ride with a freaked-out cab driver causes his untimely demise. Elliot discovers that he is now a ghost and has to learn to spend more time with his kids rather than worry about money and career. Otherwise, after three days, he'll be whisked away into the great beyond. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    I hate they call this movie unfunny because I think it is very funny and very entertaining. It's one of those movies from your childhood that you love to rewatch! Great film!!

    THIS MOVIE IS AT LEAST 4 STARS PERIOD! THIS MOVIE WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES OUT AT THE TIME. LET'S DO REMEMBER THIS MOVIE WAS MADE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 90'S (1990 TO BE EXACT), SO IT WAS PROBABLY FILMED IN LATE 80'S. ANY HOW, THIS MOVIE IS VERY FUNNY, AND HAS A VERY GOOD PLOT. I MEAN WHERE TALKING ABOUT BILL COSBY AT HIS BEST.
