Parents need to know that there isn't much to shock tweens and up in this mock-horror film. There are numerous ghosts running rampant through NYC, but it's played for comedy over scares (like when the Titanic disembarks). Still, ghosts are the "bad guys" and get eliminated with laser guns by a crew of wisecracking guys. At one point a baby is kidnapped by a ghost and a sinister spirit tries to inhabit his body. The baby is rescued, of course, but there is another real person, hilariously portrayed by Peter MacNicol, who wants to steal the baby in order to woo its mother.
Positive messages:Ghostbusters try their hardest to bring out the best in New Yorkers, defeating negative energy with positive.
Positive role models:The good guys here may be a bit rough around the edges -- especially Peter Venkman, who also has a problem with authority -- but they always come through as heroes in the end.
Violence & scariness:The Ghostbusters crew attacks the slime and the ghosts with laser guns that shoot light and goo. A baby is kidnapped by a ghost and is threatened with possession by Vigo.
Sexy stuff:Some kissing and "making out" that is more suggested than graphic.
I think this movie rocked the house ! DON'T MAKE THE GOOP MAD! But there is definetly some parts that could scare little ones and some cussing and a woman asks a man... you don't need to know... but otherwise it was awesome!
It was really funny! It may get a little scary for the young ones but it's funny! Though there are some Adult jokes... but mild. And they try to get New York to be happy instead of so grumpy all the time! THAT'S NICE!!!! =)
I rented this movie based on the rating, especially for language. My kids really liked it. The only problem is that the rating stated "some mild insults" but I think the word a...hole is not mild. Wish I knew before.
This movie is almost as amazing as the first one!!! It's a lot more kid appropriate than the first movie. If you liked the first movie, you'll love this one!!! :-D
They're baaaaaaaaaaack! The busters, in this installment, have been forgotten. Winston and Peter are birthday party entertainment and Egon and Ray run an occult shop. But when a god's spirit threatens Dana's baby boy Oscar and a mood darkening slime rises from the bowels of NYC, who ya gonna call?
There's a little bit of creepiness. Little kids might be stunned by the transformation of the Statue Of Liberty. Some characters make out and kiss. They occasionally swear even the mild Egon. And Peter and Dana have wine at dinner.
