With Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire opening this weekend, I want to look back on some lesser Ghostbusters films to see how they hold up.
Today, I’m looking at the largely reviled Ghostbusters 2016, followed by Ghostbuster II later this week. I’m excited to revisit both films, as it has been a while since I’ve sat down and watched either of them.
Hollywood has discovered over the years that the online community doesn’t necessarily reflect the general audience. People will show up for a film regardless of what the media or fan base says so long as the product offered provides quality entertainment.As someone who mostly avoids online debates, I was excited about another Ghostbusters. The franchise had dwindled into obscurity following the release of Ghostbusters II in 1989, surviving only in comics and TV shows.
I recently watched the 2000 comedy Meet the Parents for comparison’s sake and was pleasantly surprised by the meticulous craftsmanship in its gags. In the early stages of the film, as Greg encounters his girlfriend’s parents, Jack and Dina , director Jay Roach artfully weaves subtle jokes into each conversation. Simultaneously, he lays the groundwork for a more significant comedic payoff later in the story, i.e., Jinx the cat defecting on the ashes of Jack’s mother.
In Ghostbusters, every character is vying for laughs. Whether it’s McKinnon’s eccentric scientist or Jones’ constantly shouting MTA operator, the cast often ends up stepping on each other’s comedic timing instead of synergizing and playing off each other’s strengths. Comparatively, Reitman’s Ghostbusters follows the Strangelove formula. Peter , Ray , Egon , and Winston are regular fellas starting a business who end up getting in way over their heads.
