Bill Cosby gets lots of flack. His one of a kind humor and his unique personality are lightning rods for people to make fun of him. I've personally always dug his style and decided to re-watch Ghost Dad, one of the most commonly used titles for talking about silly stupid flicks. And I'll tell you what, I'll take ghost flicks like Ghost Dad any day over any of these crappy, cheap-scare infested, long-haired, pale-faced, school-girl Asian ghost flicks. I know Ghost Dad ain't horror, but still, those movies tend to suck.

Ghost Dad revolves around Bill being accidentally killed, but still being able to use his new-found ghost body/abilities to continue to help, more or less, his family and himself with their daily struggles. Through trying to save his job, help his son with magic tricks and even taking out the garbage, there are plenty of fun lil gags that will entertain the movie-goer who still possesses that lil kid inside of them.

With classic Cosby facial expressions, sound effects and jokes, it's really just a hoot for any fan of the Pudding Man. But if you're not a fan of Cosby, you may not find it as entertaining as someone like myself. Though it's undeniably charming and has a lot more heart and originality than most films out there. Ghost Dad was a cool lil flick that was consistently entertaining and had a surprisingly high amount of heart, though with Sidney Poitier directing that's not truly that surprising. Viva la Ghost Dad!

YES! Basically this is a ninety minute episode of the explosive family comedy/drama "The Cosby show". I remember this movie coming out, the ad with wild bill ghosting through a bus, and making his face disappear. The faces, the dancing, Cosby delivers on all accounts, he's a real prankster. It took me about a week to watch this whole thing cause i kept putting it on so late at night. The time this came out Cosby's family show was hotter then hell, and as this movie will prove even Death can't keep a good dad down. He does his best after a horrifying accident to take care of his kids and get some kind of life insurance, the results are hilarious. He spooks a nosy, nerdy neighbor, he ghosts through a phone to strangle a young thug and helps his son perform a magic trick only a janitor could successfully get out of. So plenty happens here, and this is another one that got ton's of negative criticism when it came out, but nothing can slow down Bill Cosby, nothing. The man appears ageless and basically looks the same now as he did twenty years ago. In fact he looks the same now as he did in the early eighties. There's a nasty rumor going around Hollywood that he drinks the blood of young runaways, still another says he's an alien, and another one even suggests he's been dead for years and cloned by the Illuminati, kept in rotation to keep Kodak and Jello going and going. And yes there's a scene in this movie where a stuffy brit named EDITH, indulges in the cantankerous, wise cracking, ghostly jello slime. What can i say, i laughed, i cried, i orgasm'd twice! Check this out and don't forget the jello puddin. Nine stars, hooo ahhh!

I watched it as a child with my brother. It was corny but hell it was fun! I loved Bill Cosby in this role and the premise of the whole movie was, while a bit of a stretch, quite fun in itself. Here you have a hard-working dad and his children..what happens of the dad suddenly "leaves his body", while nit exactly being dead? A comedy ensues as all of them struggle to adjust to the dad's new predicament, doing all sort of weird stuff.

There is also the memorable taxi driver from hell. I was never quite able to forget him. This was a good family movie and both me and my brother had a lot of fun.

It was silly, it was goofy, it was cheesy, but it was warm and lively and entertaining. A lot more credit should be given to this movie. For me, it will always remind me of the days when me and my brother watched things together. Good times.

You might be put off by the goofiness and corniness of it but for me it is an 8/10. Good 'ole Bill Cosby.
