Bill Cosby. He's been around so long. Is there a person in the world today that doesn't like/respect/acknowledge him? So naturally (like a lot of celebrities) he's had a very shielded career. He knows his territory and plays to it. It seems very unlikely you'll ever see him in anything less than good old fashioned family friendly programming. That's his territory.
So unsurprisingly that means 'Ghost Dad' breaks no new ground for Bill Cosby. Material similar to this has been trend before. There's no doubt he's playing it safe, but 'Ghost Dad' is also a harmless film for the whole family. Kids might appreciate it more than the adults, but I digress. I don't think the plot needs to be spelled out, but here it goes. Cosby is the caring husband / father trying to protect his daughters and maintain the family's happy existence. So what a cramp it put's in his style when - oops, he's dead. Hence, Ghost Dad.
Which leads to a bunch of silly scenes some reminiscent of "The Invisible Man". Cosby is fun and though the movie is predictable in almost every sense - it's a relatively painless viewing. It might not be the best offering of home family entertainment, but you could do worse.
