Beverly Hills Ghost

The idea of a person coming back as a ghost to find out who killed her has been done before, but is a nice enough idea. The plot, the red herrings, the eventual motive and uncovering are quite well put together and the acting by all the teenagers was not at all bad. My problem is with the adults. Their performances are so ridiculous, that they have careered into caricature, so much so that it threatens to drag the rest of the movie into dis-belief. I'm guessing that the performances were directed this way for humour, to me it wasn't necessary and there was enough light hearted moments throughout the rest of the movie to keep people happy. Not a bad movie though and worth watching for the teen age group.

This was a great kids/family movie. It reminds me of Casper with a bit of Clue mixed in. The mystery had a lot of twists and turns in it which kept things interesting and funny at the same time. The two main characters have great chemistry and the side characters are the perfect compliment. Whoever played the dad and mom characters were perfect, very well cast. The music was also really good, without it being a musical. There were just a couple musical performances which I was surprised I liked because sometimes I fast forward through those in movies. Overall, just a really funny movie that is definitely worth a watch.

Keeping in mind that most of the characters are Beverly Hills cliches, this is a very funny whodunit ghost story. With a teaspoon of seriousness. As one pretty much surmises from the title, there is a ghost in Beverly Hills. A high school senior apparently committed suicide, but her ghost appears to one special girl and lets her know that she isn't sure exactly how she died, but it certainly wasn't suicide. And the fun starts there. Bev Hills High is full of typical spoiled Cali students, any of whom might know what happened, or, God forbid, may be a murderer! Okay, that's the first 3 minutes of the movie--the rest is serious fun.

Really like this movie a lot! The main characters were all really funny and the haunting sequence in the beginning was probably my favorite part! I thought the high school parts had a lot of good jokes that made fun of Beverly Hills stereotypes, too. Kind of reminds me of Clueless or some of the other movies I used to watch as a 90s kid which was a fun throwback. If you have kids they will like this movie and it would be appropriate by anyone's standards!

Beverly Hills Ghost is a fun, lighthearted watch, with an interesting twist at the end. My boyfriend and I genuinely enjoyed it, and we're in our mid-20s. I especially loved the progression of Missy and Sari's relationship -- the dialogue between them is lovingly snarky and relatable. Made me want to hit up all my girlfriends to hang. I'm not a professional film critic, but for an indie production company's first movie, this was very well done on so many levels! Definitely a feel-good movie that I'd recommend to kids/families, teens, and even 20-somethings.
