Moviegoers are saying
This supernatural tale splits audiences between nostalgic childhood memories and adult discomfort, with reviewers noting an unexpectedly 'horny' ghost protagonist whose famous 'Can I keep you?' line hits differently as an adult. The film's final act delivers genuine emotional devastation that rivals Titanic's ending, though many find the romantic undertones surprisingly creepy.

75

Like The Flintstones and The Addams Family, Casper is an attempt to bring cartoons to life while incorporating them with real actors and sets. As a technical achievement, it's impressive, and entertaining.

Casper is not the kind of smartly written movie that works on children's and adult levels at once. But with its lively pace, smashing visual tricks and one of the cutest heroes on screen, it is an engaging fantasy for very small children.

A better- than-average children's film, dolled up with some high-priced art direction and extraordinary special effects.
