Fantasma de Estimação

The successful and wealthy TV actress Christine (Kristina Wayborn) moves from Los Angeles to a small town in Romania with her son Kevin (Jameson Baltes), her fiancé Tony (James Fitzpatrick) and her assistant Joanne (Laura Bruneau) to buy an old castle and construct a SPA following Tony's advice. Kevin does not like Tony and misses his friends that were left behind, but befriends the castle administrator Pavel (Luc Leestemaker). Soon Kevin encounters the ghost Sofia (Trishalee Hardy), who takes care of the castle that belonged to her family, and they become best friends. They discover that Tony has a love affair with Joanne and they are spending the money of Christine. Further, Sofia is getting weaker and weaker with the destruction of the castle. Now their only hope is to summon Sofia's mother (Sally Kirkland) to help her daughter to save the castle, but the spell is not working. Will Sofia vanish and the castle be totally destructed?

"Little Ghost" is a family entertainment very funny for children (and adults). The story of friendship is predictable but sweet and Jameson Baltes and Trishalee Hardy show a great chemistry and seem to have good-time. The ham villain James Fitzpatrick is silly but also hilarious. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Fantasma de Estimação" ("Pet Ghost")

This lightweight childrens' movie takes place in Romania, where a young boy (Jameson Baltes) unhappily moves to an ancient castle with his mom and no-good stepdad (Kristina Wayborn and James Fitzpatrick), who plan to open a health spa there. Trouble is, the place is haunted, and the cute little ghost (Trishalee Hardy) that the young man befriends has her own reasons for not wanting her home disturbed. This is a movie for the younger kids, without any frightening scenes. Parents and other adults watching it with children may find their minds wandering, though.

Kevin is one sad 12 year old. First, his actress mother has a new boyfriend, who the young lad doesn't like. Then, he has to leave his home, his friends, and such comforts as "fast food joints" and follow his mama to the European country of Sylvania. That's where an old castle is going to be turned into a "spa" by mommy and beau. Also making the trip is an assistant to the couple, a woman who may have eyes on the "boyfriend", too. When they get to the castle, Kevin is utterly bored until, lo and behold, a ghost appears. Its the spirit of a little girl from the Middle Ages and she is haunting the place in hopes of scaring visitors away, for she doesn't want the building to change. At first, Kev is a bit afraid, as she pops in and out at whim. But, soon, they are fast friends. As Kevin tells her more about his mom's suitor and the man himself has plans to knock down precious parts of the castle and grounds, the little ghost helps upset the venture. One day, she wraps a garden hose around the beau, which acts like a cobra and spits water into the man's face. Now, that's entertainment! Another time, vegetables and fruits are thrown at the gentleman, covering him in juice. Will Kevin and the ghost succeed in driving everyone back to the States? This fun family flick was made on a budget but still has plenty of great big fun for all. There are no known actors, except Sally Kirkland in a brief role. But, the castle and gardens are very beautiful and the magical antics will make the audience laugh. So, fork over a little money and find Little Ghost. Your family will like it.

Literally a kids film I'm 20 and i thought its cute and would be great to put on for the kids who just want a cute movie to enjoy. The to kids are probably do the best acting in the movie. Good story line and great filming location. I just wish though that they would of have a little better acting for the adults and less cheese. Definitely less cheese. It was pretty funny though but it was also your typical storyline is guy is in love with the best friend but Spiritual Advisor now that was originial and i don't mean that sarcastically. My mom picked this up cause she thought it looked cute and it did this is a baby-sitter movie or a family movie. Recommended for the baby-sitter in a rush or doesn't know what else to get! ~!

Okay, I have to admit that had I not had two children that are 5 & 7, that I probably would not have rented this cute little film. We mostly spend out time out on the water surfing, wake-boarding, etc. We very rarely are ever in front of a TV set. However, every so often we will have a day of rest or bad weather, so this was one of those dreary days. We rented this movie for a dollar and we were pleasantly surprised. The scenery was great. the gags and the physical jokes were great. My kids were on the ground rolling and laughing their hearts out when the main man got plastered with the tomatoes. I personally felt that the scenes with the main woman and the main man were also very charming and funny. i wish there were more of these types of movies for families to watch together.

Wonderful time!
