Really Surprised!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend?(2014) Starring: Ryan Ochoa, Roshon Fegan, Adi Shankar, Madison Pettis, Calum Worthy, Eric Allan Kramer, Bella Thorne, Adi Shankar, Charlie Hewson, Casey Young Directed By: Peter Hewitt Review Hello Kiddies your pal the Crypt Critic is back in his favorite time of the year, Hooptober is upon us which means it's crypty's favorite time of the year to review 31 horror films in 31 days! Now I started with something that should scare the little ones and who better for the job than Rl. Stine, oh his goosebumps always rattled me with fear when I was a child. This is based on a novel or trilogy since there is three films about ghosts who try to locate there parents with the help of there friend Max, while the evil ghoul known as fear is using a ghoul named Emma to posses Max and take off his magic ring which protects him from the likes of fear. While Max try's to impress his crush Anna played by future wife Bella Thorne. This children's horror film based on R.L Stines novel is sure to scare kiddies and make them shriek for only about two scenes but aside from that it probably wouldn't scare children that much! But I'm sure they will find it fun to watch I mean I had a fun time with it heck I actually thought the acting was sort of great but the effects make the one's on the shows look Oscar worthy by comparison. Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoul Friend? does not offer a lot of scares for children or great effects but with a fun hour and a half children's horror show that it is and the good acting it's a fun time I have a soft spot for Stine, I'm giving it three stars out of five.

This movie is just a redo of the original Mostly Ghostly with a more fitting cast (for instance the female ghost has a "brother" who could actually pass as such, unlike the original film.) If you've seen the original it may be a bit more enjoyable than if you see this film alone. (The bad guy may make more sense as would the history of the spirits.) Also the lead male actor is a bit more smooth at his chemistry with the other characters, as opposed to the previous actor who was nothing but awkward with poor emotional acting skills. As in any Disney channel based film, you can expect Disney channel based lessons to be involved throughout.

I enjoyed this movie. I taped it and have already gone back and watched some of the scenes again. It's an enjoyable movie.I watched it because of the cast. It was Bella Thorne and America's Angel Madison Pettis as well as the guy who played Rocky's brother in "Shake It Up". The guy who plays the main character was annoying at first, but you warm up to him. Also, this is the last movie in which the late Joan Rivers appears. She plays the grandmother, is only in one scene and only has a couple of lines.The plot is extremely lame. There is a weird looking guy in a graveyard who for some reason tries to capture a family. The two kids get away and become ghosts. Only the main character can see them. Then there is a ghost of an eastern European acrobat who somehow has a part in this story. I couldn't figure out what was going on.But the best part of the movie are the friendships. The main character develops a close friendship with Madison and Ty. They have a lot of fun together too. Also the main character has a crush on Bella Thorne. What would a Disney movie be without a dork chasing after the prettiest girl in school (in this case, the world)?I remember Madison Pettis as America's Angel in Cory in the House. There have been a lot of cute child actors. Remember that kid from Home Alone? He turned out to be a whack job. But Madison Pettis is aging gracefully. She has turned out to be breathtakingly beautiful. She can act. She can dance (there's a dance scene in this movie). She's on her way to a long career. Let's hope she doesn't go cuckoo.All in all, it was a fun movie to watch.

"Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend" is indeed a family movie in every sense of the word, and just with the right pinch of spooky thrown into it as you always get with the material from R.L. Stine.The story is about Max, who is friends with two ghosts, who has to thwart the evil plans of a ghoul that dwell in the local cemetery. But things are not all that easy, especially when there is a trickster ghoulish spirit on the prowl with the ability to inhabit the bodies of the living."Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend" is a good movie for a Halloween event with the entire family, especially if there are youngster in the group, because this movie has just a little bit of something for just everyone.As for the effects, well they were doing alright and serving the purpose they were intended for. Just don't expect to be dazzled and blown away by a multi-million dollar CGI budget here.The people on the cast list were doing good jobs with their given roles, and that added to the overall enjoyment of the entire movie.If you enjoy R.L. Stine's books, then you would also enjoy this movie.
