Ghostbusters won’t win-over pre-release haters but offers enough laughs and slick special effects to satisfy series fans and casual filmgoers alike.
Days from becoming a tenured professor in the Columbia University physics department, Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) visits her childhood friend Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) – to request that Abby remove the online listing for a 400-page book on paranormal science the pair co-authored years earlier. In exchange for removing the order page, Abby and her research partner, Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), persuade Erin to join them for one final investigation – during which the three scientists encounter an actual ghost. Dismissing footage of the incident, YouTube commenters, experts, and their (now former) employers chastise Erin, Abby, and Holtzmann – labeling the women attention-seeking fakes.
