Reviews

Despite a talented cast, including Bill Cosby, 'Ghost Dad' failed to impress critics upon its release in 1990. Many reviewers found the concept of a ghostly father engaging with his family lacking in real emotional depth. The film's humor was often deemed lackluster, failing to resonate with audiences. One critic from Rotten Tomatoes remarked, 'Ghost Dad struggles to find the right balance between comedy and sentimentality, resulting in a lukewarm reception from viewers.' On IMDb, the movie received a low rating of 4.4/10, indicative of its mixed reception. While some viewers appreciated Cosby's performance and the film's lighthearted moments, others found it forgettable and uninspired.
