Casper is one of the sweetest movies ever. I can't help but cry my eyes out during the
movie. All right, I must admit that I was a Casper fan when I was a child, but this has
nothing to do with it.
Bill plays this psychologist who thinks ghosts are merely human souls with an unfinished business. He is hired by this avaricious woman who just wants the treasure hidden at some manor she inherited.
In this movie, Bill sings (That's Life, Jailhouse Rock), Bill dances, he has great physical abilities and really looks totally at ease with non-existent fellow actors. This is such a special movie. I think all true fans of Bill's would also enjoy it. A tear jerker for sure, but a pleasant one at least.
I loved the cameos at the beginning - Father Guido Sarducci and Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd (anyone out there other than me remembers Father Gui! do from SNL???).
I hope you all enjoy this movie.

I enjoyed this movie as well. I also had some tears during this one. Death is a subject
that has always touched me deeply, and I enjoyed this sweet story of dealing with death
and the loss of loved ones. I also enjoyed the cameos as well and I do remember Father
Guido, Louise. He and Dan Akroyd were great! I thought Bill showed how great both his
comedic and dramatic abilities were in this movie. I was especially impressed with his
physical comedic abilities in this one!!! This is a great one to see if you're a Bill
Pullman fan. dlrs (dlrs@rmh.com) :
It looks like I'm the first mom to review this here. My kids (5.5 and 2) have seen
"Casper" several times. At first I thought #1 kid wouldn't like it because he's
going through a ghost phase, but the ghosts, the 3 bad 'uns, haven't bothered him.
As an adult, Bill Pullman is the only attraction for me here. The movie doesn't really
resolve anything plot wise, but I thought Bill was good as the dad/psychologist. Wish they
had developed Dr. Harvey a little more as a psychologist, but hey, ultimately this is a
kid movie. Samantha Lane

This one was a little quirky, but OK anyway, once again, Bill was great. Susan :
My nine year old daughter liked it and, since she was the target audience, it didn't miss
the mark. Donna Wood :
Casper has a mixture of being funny, sad, and magical. My children and I all loved it and
will be watching it again. Anne-Louise Wilkins
(danelaw@powerup.com.au) :
Casper is a touching and tear-jerking film which explores the child within. Although this
is targeted at a younger generation, everyone can still find something to enjoy. Natalie

TALK ABOUT AN AWESOME MOVIE. I KNOW IT'S GEARED TOWARD LITTLER KIDS BUT I DON 'T CARE.
IT'S AWESOME. Felicia Scott
(fscott@mail.milsen.vic.edu.au):
Well, what can I say. Bill Pullman looks good in anything. I believe that Casper is one of
the best movies that Bill Pullman has been in ever. Man, I would have loved to be his
disceased wife. The lucky woman she is. Oh well, who cares, I can always dream that one
day Bill Pullman will be mine.
This film is so fantastic. Especially Bill Pullman. He is such a gorgeous
honey. Well, what can I say except that BILL PULLMAN is the best. Keri Loop
(philoops@erols.com):
The only reason that I would give it a 3 and a half stars is because he looked really old.

A truly delightful fantasy. Bill is charming and cuddly as usual. Sure wish he could be
cloned!!!!!! Heather :
Casper is a very sweet and touching movie. Bill was fantastic. Dr. Harvey was one of his
best characters I have ever seen. I think I liked this specific character because he was
sweet, sensitive, and cute. I loved how he wasn't afraid to show that he was afraid. I
also liked how for once he wasn't playing such a macho, authorative figure, but he was
really kind of shy and unsure. This was all courtesy of Bill's wonderful job on playing
the role. Also, Bill's singing was absolutely adorable! (So was he for that matter!)
Casper was just all-around great, and it will be one of my favorites for a long time to
come.
