Ghost Busters

Maybe Go
This movie didn’t take any chances, and didn’t expand the Ghostbusters universe in any way. If you loved the original Ghostbusters, you still will.

Yes, of the four protagonists, the two that are better known on the silver screen, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, seem happy to let McKinnon shine. Leslie Jones completes the quartet as the odd woman out, grass-root wisdom in the midst of three high-brow scientists. The real eyebrow raiser is Chris Hemsworth (Thor) turning in a side-splitting performance of a heartthrob grade idol playing a male bimbo, so to speak.

The real draw for this movie, in my view, is Hemsworth. Enough summer flick laughs are generated along the way if the audience is the not-too-hard-to-please type.
