Who you gonna call? All your friends to go see this reboot.

Wiig and Mccarthy have gone above and beyond this time. While films like “Bridesmaids” and “Spy” were great in their own right, Ghostbusters presented its own set of challenges.

“Ghostbusters 3” with the original cast was the plan but was scrapped for multiple reasons and the controversial decision to reboot with an all female cast was made. Obviously a tough spot for the new cast given the original is so universally loved.

Casting was near perfection, everyone knows the chemistry between Wiig and McCarthy is undeniable but producers hit the remaining Ghostbusters out of the park as well. The surprise star of the film was “Thor” himself Chris Hemsworth who plays an extremely unintelligent receptionist.

With a ton of cameos and returning favorite ghosts, this film is able to stand on its own while paying homage to the original. Make sure to stay after the credits for one last teaser.

Even though the first Ghostbusters was ok for children, I would hold off on bringing kids to this installment. The special effects could frighten the young ones so take the PG-13 rating seriously.

In conclusion, the decision to reboot instead of another sequel seemed destined to fail from its inception but in my opinion it’s the surprise of the summer. Against all odds these new female Ghostbusters are a resounding success and are here to stay!
