Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are the passionate lovers whose romance is undone when the latter is murdered during a bungled hit arranged by a rival. The clever concept by screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin extends into comedy (Swayze's character communicates through a sassy medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Oscar for this role), horror (the afterlife is populated by hell-bound demons and the like) and romantic complications (a handsome suitor, played by Tony Goldwyn, comes on to Moore while Swayze's spirit is still hanging around). Directed by Jerry Zucker, previously best known for co-directing Airplane! and similar broad comedies, Ghost is a careful balancing act of strong commercial elements, but at heart it is a timeless Hollywood tearjerker that easily gets under one's skin. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Synopsis
A stockbroker and his girlfriend move into an apartment and look forward to a lovely future. Unfortunately Sam is murdered and Molly is left bereft. Enter a psychic con lady and Sam's ghost and an investigation into Sam's murder which is classed as a mugging that went wrong...

4.0 out of 5 stars a real 'weepy', 4 Mar 2003
By dragondrums "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Ghost [DVD] [1990] (DVD)
Ghost is a film that essentially covers the theme of life after death and is about Sam (Patrick Swayze), his girlfriend Molly (Demi Moore) and their lives after Sam is murdered. Sam's spirit tries to contact Molly and reassure her he is all right but Molly has no belief in the afterlife. As far as she is concerned Sam is dead. When Sam realises who is behind his death his concern for Molly grows and he becomes desperate to get through to her. By chance he comes across Oda Mae, a charlatan medium who is as shocked as Sam is when she realises in fact she can hear him and she does have psychic abilities.
Whoopie Goldberg is the real scene-stealer as the reluctant medium trying to convince a sceptical Molly that Sam is still 'alive'. She manages to inject real humour into the role, which stops the film becoming too morose. Her reaction when she realises she is really psychic and is not just a fake conning bereaved people is hilarious.
This is a real tearjerker of a film, a box of tissues to hand is a must, but it is a film that is well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best acting I've ever seen!, 27 May 2002
By A Customer
I watched this film on TV recently, having never seen it before, I decided to watch it and see if it was as sad as people said. I too have NEVER cried at a film in my life, seriously, and I didn't think this would be any different. God was I wrong! The acting from both Moore and Swayze is absolutely amazing, and I began to completely feel Sam's frustrations when Molly can't hear him, and Molly's pain throughout the film. I think without good actors this film could have been quite bad, but with these two I honestly began to feel that the whole thing was real. At the end of the film there were tears in my eyes, something I didn't think would happen! If you havn't seen this film already I would seriously recommend it as it is one of the most touching films ever made.

4.0 out of 5 stars clever concept not done justice, 30 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This is a true tear-jerker, and even I who normally refuse to cry during stylised Hollywood movies, couldn't help but sob into my cushion at the end. Swayze and Goldberg were, as usual, very entertaining and I'm sure this was the best performance of Moore's career.

I deducted a star for the lack of comedy. For a film which was supposed to be funny, this was remarkably melancholy.

The small black ghost-like creatures were very creepy and you couldn't help but wish evil on the man who had inadvertently organised his friend's death for the sake of money.

Not as good as I'd hoped it would be, but nevertheless a good afternoon's viewing.
