Summary: Come on people!
Review: This movie straight up is really bad. I dont know why all these people are saying it is funny. It really isn't. It is a disgrace to the world of black cinima and in fact the african american community in general. Don't buy this movie.

Summary: I would like to talk to you... about how bad this movie is!
Review: Words do not describe how bad Ghost Dad is. An extremely pitiful attempt at comedy this bland movie will have you laughing at how bad the movie is instead of laughing with the jokes. Leonard part 6 is a better film.
The premise of this movie is that Cosby's workaholic dad dies and tries to help his kids. The story must have sounded good on paper. The movie presented onscreen looks like something made up by chimpanzees that got a hold of a box of crayons. There should be subtitles at the bottom of the screen of Bill Cosby movies so we can understand what Cosby s saying. I couldn't understand a word of his dialogue through all the mugging and the babbling. From what I saw, it looks like workaholic Cos gets into a cab with a psycho cabbie who drives him off a tall bridge. This turns him into Ghost Cos who can walk through walls while inanely mugging. After having the perfunctory test of his ghost abilities, he begins interacting with his bland as the Bradys family and neighbors mugging and babbling until the movie comes to the wretched end. If you can get through 20 minutes of this whole movie without stopping the VCR or DVD and throwing this movie out a window consider yourself lucky. You have built up an extremely strong tolerance for bad movies. Getting through this you just may be ready for the film disaster known as Manos: The Hands of Fate.
Bill Cosby may be the man on TV, but in the movies he's never been lucky. His goofy facial mugging and crazy sounds get on your nerves. The settings of his films remind you of the white bread fantasy world of The Brady Bunch. Everything is so vanilla it's just not natural. The kids in his family have no personalities; the people are flavorless sweet cutouts like animal crackers. I wanted some sense of realism to make the story interesting.
Long story short, if you're a MST3K producer looking for a film for Mike, Crow, and Tom Servo to rip into like a chainsaw tearing through a redwood this is the film for you. Everyone else get Bubba Ho Tep or Ghost.
