Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

uapeople As someone who would normally turn a film like this off i simply couldn't. I found myself trying to accept my parents passing. I didn't realize that there was something within me that i didn't know. I truly didn't accept what I thought I had. The movie as it went on truly gave me a gift and that was the chance to say something to my parents again. I believe anyone who has lost a parent should watch this film and I also feel that people who are lucky enough to still have their parents should watch it too. If you enjoy learning something then this movie will be something that will always stay with you. I believe it's a must for anyone because it teaches people something and any movie that does that is something that's important to watch. i hope you watch it and enjoy it.

SuccessLocksmith This film is cinematic drama story telling done exceptionally good.The acting and directing are not TOO polished, yet everybody involved in this film, appreciates the truthfulness of the story elements.Without spoiling anything, it's about a man going thorough a personal crisis, and he just happens to do it in-front of everyone.Although realistically the chances of dealing with real issues, and resolving them in a 1 hour period is slim, the story is believable and the empathic bonding with the audience works well.The only ones who will not appreciate this, are the ones not emotionally mature enough to face their own feeling (yes, I mean you action/macho only no-feeling-to-be-hurt guys).If you've ever experienced loss, or in a complex relationship, or personally know someone who has - (which is about almost everybody), you'll probably appreciate this film.On a more personal note, although the film has the usual disclaimer that all of the characters are fictional, and that the story is not true, I believe it's very true. Although the plot is probably fictional, the people are based on the filmmakers' experiences, and we can see that in the ending credits with the dedications to the filmmaker's lost ones.I usually go after the "easy" viewing stuff, but this one was well done, and I'd recommended it to anyone looking for a goodhearted intimate film, which doesn't leave you untouched at the end.

MetalEsp I thought Mother Ghost was an excellent movie. I highly recommend it, especially to people who might be having a hard time dealing with the loss of a loved one. I have been a fan of the Mark and Brian Radio Program, from where Mark Thompson is most well known, so when I heard about this movie I thought I would check it out. I came across it by chance, as a local radio station was giving it away. I watched it and was very impressed with it, so impressed that I called KLOS Radio (where Mark and Brian work) and spoke to Mark directly. I told him that I really enjoyed his movie. So for those of you that enjoy humorous yet thought provoking movies, you will enjoy this.

darkroom_drone Mother Ghost screened at the Long Beach International Film Festival and enjoyed a strong, positive audience response. Everyone laughed at the humor that sprung naturally from the plot and characters, and either cried outright or fought back tears at the climax. Mark Thompson's performance is reminiscent of George Clooney in strength, good looks and humor. In addition, Kevin Pollack pulled off the best rendition of a screen psychiatrist one could ever hope for; pure genius!This film is a genuine surprise in its remarkable use of non-traditional structure. Although it is linear, it is not really three acts; it is a powerful emotional journey in one act, almost like a play. The director, Rich Thorne, and lead actors Mark Thompson (of Mark & Brian fame) and Kevin Pollack pulled out some wonderful surprises for such a simple story: a man struggles to deal with grief after losing his mother. Using creative staging, situations and humor, the story propels an otherwise mundane premise into a real treat for the senses. Fans of either Bergman, Fellini or Hitchcock (yes, they can go together!) will definitely appreciate this fine film.
