So why are the films so funny?
Evolution.
The plot line just lends itself to be funny a meteorite bring down a new form of life to Earth and it being found by an disgraced ex army scientist and a teacher who is sexually over active. Some of the acting is not the best, but it is easily made up for by the great one liner's and visual gags that are liberally peppered throughout the film. Did the film get product placement money….I sure hope so, given the ending
Ghostbusters
What can be said about this film that has not been said before…It is quite clearly a modern day classic. The plot and comedy timing of the actors along with their on screen presence and teamwork bring together a film that will stand the test of time and countless re-runs. That along with a kickin theme tune and original Idea made this a MUST SEE for everyone who likes watching a comedy.
Advantages: Ghostbusters and Men in Black Disadvantages: Evolution
2 of the best sci-fi family comedies ever have been put together in this 3 disc box set. £ disc i hear you say. Well they have been accompanied by the rather average Evolution starring David Duchovny and American Pie star Sean William Scott.
As a youngster the Ghostbusters movie, and for that matter the cartoons, the lunchboxes the toys and any other random merchandise you can think of, were my absolutely favourite things bar nothing. Power Rangers probably came a close second (i was young forgive me). Starring Bill Murray as the ever funny Ray and Rick Moranis as, for a change, the bad guy the film will no doubt be an endless legend. However, looking back on the film the quality of special effects is really quite laughable but back in the day it was great so we can let Ghostbusters off.
Men in Black is also an all time favourite ...
