Ghosting - Mein Weihnachtsgeist

Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas isn't your typical Christmas movie and that's a good thing. Jess finally meets a great guy, but before things can blossom, she's killed in a car accident on the way home. Normally this would be the end of our story, but what would be the fun in that?

Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas has a lot of good things going for it. The story moves along rather well, the characters are quite likable and there is noticeable chemistry between the ensemble cast. All in all, i found it to be a fun little Christmas movie, a nice change of pace.

I rarely watch this network. But they play reruns of an old show I enjoy, saw this advertised and it looked interesting. Aisha Dee is cute, and a very good actress. She has a bright career ahead of her. Not true for the other actress, Kamiko Glenn. She talks through her nose and is hard to understand. But now for the movie. The reason it was so interesting to me is because although it was obviously meant for young people, I am not one of those. I recently found out, at a class reunion, that a girl with whom I was in love in high school, but never told, had died this past year. Even though we were not close over the past 50 years, I had not even thought of her over the years. We briefly talked a few years ago at a previous reunion. Don't misunderstand, I dearly love my wife of 53 years. But all of a sudden, I wished I had told Cindy how I felt all those many years ago. Now I can't tell her. Strange, huh? One final thought from a retired first responder. Don't text and drive.

It's a typical feel-good Christmas romance BUT with so many bizarre twists thrown in. By the end of this movie, I'm wondering who's in love with whom, and why didn't the parents have a bigger part (since the theme seemed to be about "true love". I mean, whose love is as unconditional as a parent?). Plus, the argument/conflict at the end didn't make sense - when you're friend is given a "ghosting" gift like this, are you really going to argue about stupid things???

Simply abominable. To quote the movie it was almost "like having someone shove your face in your own crap". The many directions this could have taken and they chose this one. Who was the lead ? Hard to say. I honestly can never get the time back.

The actors portrayed the characters so well that it is like watching your friends in real life. The writing also had a super real feel to bring these characters to life in 2019.
