WEEK 47: A MOVIE WITH A ONE WORD TITLE

Review: Sam Wheat and Molly Jensen are moving in together. Their friend Carl helps them with the renovation. Carl and Sam also work together. When Sam and Molly come back from a nice evening out, they are robbed. After a struggle, a shot is fired and Sam runs after the robber. When he returns, he sees himself bleeding on the ground, with Molly holding him. Sam realizes he’s dead, but ignores the heavenly light. He can’t say goodbye to Molly yet and there is a reason he is still there. Sam discovers why he was shot and he has to find a way to tell Molly she is in danger. With the help of Oda Mae Brown, a psychic, Sam tries to warn Molly.
The movie is a nice mix of romance and drama, with a little bit of humor. The last mostly comes from Whoopi Goldberg, who plays Oda Mae. She even got an Academy Award for her role.
The story is quite original and the way it’s executed is also done well. It doesn’t stand the test of time though, it’s pretty outdated in some areas. But overall, “Ghost” is a really good romance that will get a lot of eighties and nineties babies swooning.

Rating: 3,5 / 5
