Promoción fantasma

A great comedy, I had a great time watching it. There's only one arbitrary point in the plot: the main character -Modesto the teacher- has the special capability to see the ghosts no one else can see, dead people who still have some unsolved subject which keeps them trapped invisible among the living. Why was Modesto born with this capability? Well, who cares... What follows is an original and funny story explaining how a group of 5 ghosts trapped in a school do their "supernatural stuff", like possessions and such. With the extra fun that these ghosts are from the 80s, dressing and talking on the 80s fashion.

Saw this movie at the Miami International Film Festival. It was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in a long time! The Spaniards definitely do humor the best!!! Props to the actors, they were so true to their characters. You can't help but fall in love with them! The filming was spot on. The Directing was visionary & quite intelligent. The scenes were flawless.The timing was perfect for the jokes. The writing/dialogue was witty, smart, charming & absolutely hilarious!!!! Everyone at the theater was laughing so hard & non-stop, including myself. The music was great! Brought me back to my high school days!I enjoyed it tremendously!!! I would recommend this movie highly!

It's a hilarious ghost movie with memorable scenes and deep meanings. The story was original and the final result feels well-crafted. I will definitely see it again.

Simple comedy yet done excellent if you like different than standard American comedies. Excellent script, wonderful music, clichés played with self-irony, fast pace, keeps you engaged and involved gladly. Good fun, leaves you with a smile and good feeling inside. No development of characters or such. Instead - smart, simple and fun. Has the looks of a 1980's movies and spirit. Do not expect more - no drama, no horror, no thriller either. Does not teach you or address morality or hidden messages. Don't know what else to say to complete the necessary 10 lines for a review. Really simple and fun. If you into such kind of movies - Enjoy! :)

First of all, I must say that the 2012 movie "Promoción Fantasma" (aka "Ghost Graduation") turned out to be much more enjoyable and entertaining than what I had initially expected.

With that being said, then I was fortunate enough to get to sit down in 2021 to watch the 2012 movie "Promoción Fantasma" and took the time to watch it as I hadn't already seen it. I hadn't even heard about it, though, but the synopsis made it seem like it was going to be one of those a dime a dozen type of comedies that are spewed out frequently. But still, I opted to sit down and watch this comedy from writers Cristóbal Garrido and Adolfo Valor.

Director Javier Ruiz Caldera did a good job at bringing the storyline to life on the screen, and it definitely made for an enjoyable movie to watch. And not only was the storyline well-written and interesting to watch, but the movie's character gallery definitely lifted up the movie quite a bit, as the characters were well-rounded and memorable.

This is not, however, a type of comedy that will have you sitting holding your tummy from laughing and wiping away tears. No, this movie uses subtle comedy, but well-timed and well-delivered comedy that helped to promote the storyline and build the characters.

"Promoción Fantasma" is a movie that is well-worth the time and effort, so if you find yourself with the opportunity to watch this 2012 movie, then do so. This is a movie that I can warmly recommend.

My rating of "Promoción Fantasma" lands on a six out of ten stars.
