(l-r) Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, out nationwide, is a hilarious
sequel to ultra famous 1984 Ghostbusters
movie starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Sigourney
Weaver and Harold Ramis.
This time WOMEN
RULE!
Melissa McCarthy
The hilarity
continues with the new Ghostbusters – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate
McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, who all bring the funny. Chris Hemsworth brings some
testosterone to the mix.
It’s been 30
years and the Ghostbusters franchise is still as interesting and entertaining
as ever.
This summer the Ghostbusters must, once again, save the
world, or at least New York city.
There is a lot
of paranormal activity happening in the city and the female investigators are
on the case.
After they post
their findings they get a lot of blowback from naysayers online who say "Ain't no bitches
gonna hunt no ghosts."
Well,
in case you’ve been under a rock ever since it was announced that the reboot
would star women, there have been a number of nasty comments about women taking
over the franchise.
So,
that actual line is a nod to those who are unhappy with the direction the
franchise is taking.
To
be fair, this version is not as tight as the original, but there are some
comedic nuggets throughout the film that keeps it moving.
Leslie Jones
Once
again, supernatural bad guys want to take over the city.
While this
female version of the comedy is funny, some of the best nuggets are the cameos
from the original Ghostbusters – Murray, Aykroyd, Hudson, Potts and Weaver. Each makes a strategic appearance in the
film.
Be on the
lookout for another sequel. Near the end
of this film a reference to Zuul was made. Zuul is the demon that possessed
Sigourney Weaver in the 1984 film.
Chris Hemsworth
What really
fuels this film is Ray Parker Jr.’s kick-ass song, Who Ya Gonna Call – as it
thumps through the movie.
Ghostbusters: Answer The Call also stars Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Cecily
Strong, Karan Soni, Zach Woods, Ed Begley Jr. and Michael McDonald.
On the DONLOE
SCALE: D (don’t bother), O (oh, no), N (needs work), L (likeable), O (oh, yeah)
and E (excellent), Ghostbusters: Answer The
Call gets an O (oh, yeah).
