Some utterly hilarious moments highlight this overlooked Bill Cosby comedy. Here the beloved comic is widower Elliot Hopper, who returns home to his children as an invisible ghost after perishing in a car accident. This sets the stage for laugh-out-loud scenes such as The Coz booting his daughter's grubby boyfriend from a car and making a boy next door believe the aliens have landed. GHOST DAD gradually departs from its comedic potential, however, before becoming a bit heavy-handed in its conclusion. The special effects, badly dated even by 1990 standards, don't help matters, but it's generally enjoyable and surprisingly original.
