This is a non-scary Halloween story for the younger crowd...8-11? Max (Ryan Ochoa) is the main character who has come into possession of a magical ring, one that keeps the demon-ghost Phears (Charlie Hewson) in check. Phears plans on getting the ring off Max's finger and lead an army of the undead who will mostly likely want to visit old friends instead of conquering the world.

Max is aided by two teen ghosts and has a love interest in Cammy (Bella Thorne) who ignores him at the beginning of the film.

The film opens with a whimsical sound track and ends like a Bollywood production. Kids will enjoy this film while most adults will find it tolerable. The plot points were a bit confusing and took a lengthy explanation by Phears. Humor includes slap stick, fart humor, and some puns.

Joan Rivers has an early brief appearance.

For a female lead try "Girl vs Monster."

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.

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.
