I have to admit that I don't know Bill Cosby's work too well, but "Ghost Dad" is pretty funny. Cosby plays Elliot Hopper, who gets in a car wreck and is rendered a spirit who only shows up in the darkness. Much of the movie involves Elliot getting in and out of goofy situations; the telephone scene was neat.
True, this movie doesn't really have much artistic value, but it's an OK way to pass time. Having seen Ian Bannen in "Waking Ned Devine", I never would have imagined him also starring in a movie like this (despite the fact that this one was released several years earlier). Sidney Poitier has turned in some interesting work as a director. Worth seeing, if only once.
Messing up the Spaghetti O's...
