Summary: Awesome, fun movie!
Review: I just love CASPER. It's a really great movie. CASPER is about a man (Bill Pullman) who studies the supernatural in search for his dead wife. He keeps moving his teenager daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) around all over the place because his job requires a lot of traveling. Kat hates all the moving because she never gets a chance to live in a particular place long enough to make any friends. When her father is asked to find the spirits who live in a haunted house in Maine, he promises Kat that this will be the last place they will move to.A woman who wants Kat's father to talk to the ghosts wants him to do that because she is looking for a "secret treasure" that has been hidden in the house for years. Little does anyone know that this is the home of Casper the ghost and his "uncles": Stinky, Fatso, and Streatch. And they are not happy that somebody is moving into their house except for Casper. Casper is excited because Kat - a girl - is moving into the house, too. So while the father and Kat are living at the mansion, the three ghosts try to make them miserable...so miserable that they'll want to move out. But Casper is trying to impress Kat so he can win her over! An excellent movie with a special appearence by teen crooner, Devon Sawa, as Casper, the real boy. If you are a fan of the Supernatural and of comedy movies, than this movie is for you!!

Summary: Some charm, but language a problem
Review: I just rented this tape to watch with my kids, and found myself grateful that they tend to talk through movies. The language is not appropriate for a children's movie - and some of the profanity is not subtle (e.g. a ghost loudly proclaiming that "the b--ch is back").
Eric Idle is a nice touch, some of the interactions between father and daughter are well-done, _but_ the evil character is drawn with absolutely no subtlety, the screams of ghost-spotters become tedious, and the aggression and (implied) violent deaths are not appropriate for small children.
I suspect many of my objections are the filmmakers' attempt to "spice up" the movie for a teen audience, but they certainly remove a large pool of potential viewers; I wouldn't expose a child less than about 10 to the language (by then they'll have heard it from their classmates, and parents will have had a chance to train them not to use it).
Hate to sound like a prig (I always swore I would be a "cool" mom) - BUT, kids can be sharp-eared little parrots, and I don't feel like having MY kids call me a b--ch any earlier than they likely will (around 12, I suspect).

Summary: Great movie!
Review: I like this movie very much. It is so "nice". Soft and save. And one of my favorite actresses is there. Christina Ricci! This movie wouldn't be so good without the fabulous Ghost Trio! They make me laugh! In here Finland children under 10 aren't alloved to watch this. Why? This isn't scary! But this is good, I tell you. Great!

Summary: This is a Cute Movie!
Review: I remember watching this and thinking it was a pretty cute movie and I think Bill Pullman (Spaceballs) and Christina Ricci (The Addams Family) were very good. Though I enjoyed this movie I'm not sure if I would really want to watch it again but it is definitely a sweet movie to buy for the kids.

Summary: "Remember me THis way" and "Can I keep you"
Review: I totally agree with the bottom two, if you keep going further down about Devon Sawa and Christina Ricci. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever and that is my favorite part...its so sad that casper can't stay longer though :( did u see the look on his face when it reached 10!

Summary: A Christina Ricci classic! But where's the DVD?!!!
Review: I'm a big animation fan, so naturally I love to see live action movies based on cartoon characters. Also, back when this came out I was totally in love with Ricci. Maybe it seems odd to give this film five stars, but then you have to commend them for making a good big budget movie about Casper. That had to be tricky. It's simple in some ways, I mean, you have the usual, greedy crook villain character that's in so many live-action cartoon movies, and you have the usual silly lines and some bad acting here and there, but there are so many good things about this movie too. The effects are great, as well as the music and the Haunted House. The voices are also excellent. Plus, there were a lot of cool cameos, which were really the best parts of the movie. Especially Dan Aykroyd in a very brief scene as Ghostbuster Ray Stantz. It was a little weird when we see Casper in the flesh at the end, looking older and acting smoother than he sounds and appears as a ghost. I also am not a big fan of Kat's mom at the end, but whatever. There are little bothers here and there, but it is still an excellent movie and definitely a fave. And definitely one of Ricci's best. I'll leave you with a synopsis, in case you haven't seen the film.
Casper is a friendly ghost who lives in an old mansion with his three rude, even abusive uncles. It's all very much a take on Cinderella. A mean, greedy woman named Carrigan has recently inherited the mansion and believes there is a treasure hidden in it, so she hires Dr. James Harvey to get rid of the ghosts so she can do a thorough search. The doc has a daughter named Kat, played by Christina Ricci, who Casper develops a crush on and makes friends with. The Doc tries to talk the ghosts into moving out, and Kat plans a big Halloween party, while Carrigan causes trouble. Various characters die, become ghosts, and even come back to life through the course of the film, leading up to thwarting the bad guys and having a very Cinderella-like ending. Very cute for the most part, and definitely the best Casper movie out there. Well worth getting a DVD of, so please, somebody, make one okay?!!!

Summary: Casper!
Review: It's a funny family film,
Although, Carigine (Cathy Morarty, Casper 3) has a naughty habbit of swearing. Eric Idle, Christina Ricci, Cathy Morarty, and Bill Pullman, are great! It's very funny.
And if you're confused of the order with all the movies it goes like this: 1. Casper
2. Casper: A sprited beggining
3. Casper meets Wendy It's a good film. Though, my brother has met Christina Ricci two times. Surgen General's Warning: FOR HALLOWEEN ONLY!!!
Well, maybe not...

Summary: Great movie but would have been better for younger ones if
Review: not for the language. There wasn't much but it certainely made itself clear. I didn't feel there was any need for it in this movie at all! So little kids and parents be warned! Still it's a great lot of fun and deffinitly worth looking into! :-) check it out. A good ending and good plot points make it exciting and fun with some pretty good laughs throughout.
