Beverly Hills Ghost

This movie was funny and light-hearted with a dark sense of humor. I couldn't tell how it was going to end. It kept twisting and turning.

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.

The beginning of this fun movie will start you laughing. It's quite entertaining. I watched this with my 16 year old daughter and we loved it! We related to so many parts and kept laughing all through it. The 2 main characters are opposites, but need each other. It great to see their friendship develop. The intriguing storyline keeps you guessing who might or might not have killed the ghost. The Beverly Hills high schoolers show they are girls experiencing typical teenage emotions, dramas, and situations. I found myself relating to the nerds and fashionistas both. The acting is great, especially the goofy mom. I highly recommend this movie!

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.

I only made it five minutes in so I didn't watch the entire movie. The first impression i had was the acting was awful. I couldn't bare to move further into the story line. When the girl realized a ghost was in her room she had no reaction. I'm pretty sure we'd all freak out and cry right? Lol
