The movie's slogan is "Believe," not an unreasonable request. But even those who'd be happy to comply must get past Ghost's one casting jaw-dropper, a certain woolly-mindedness to its script and a...
Dave Kehr
What it offers, apart from the overblown special effects that seem inescapable in American movies, is an unusual and effective combination of swooning, morbid romance and screwball comedy.
Gene Siskel
The passion and poignancy of trying to communicate with the dead is well-exploited here. Moore has never been more fetching.
Carrie Rickey
Given its obviously commercial aims, Ghost is remarkably appealing on a purely personal level. It is about how you deal with death.
Jay Boyar
Ghost is one part horror picture, one part comedy, one part love story, one part murder mystery and four parts entrancing.
Richard Corliss
A bad movie that a lot of people will like.

Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff, Captain Sharp. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop.
