Casper Meets Wendy Audience Reviews

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
adonis98-743-186503 Casper, a ghost, teams up with Wendy, a witch, against an evil warlock. Casper meets Wendy is nowhere as good as the first film especially when is a straight to video film but it still a huge fun the film has some nice performances mostly by a young and cute Hilary Duff also Teri Garr, Shelley Duvall and Cathy Moriarty. Now the problem with this film is mostly the effects that are sloppy as hell, some of the performances are over the top and forced mostly the bad guys and the humor is also one of the same forced and dumb and over the top. It's still a pretty good film with a nice message that a witch and a ghost can become friends and work together in order to beat evil. Like i said it does have problems but for the most part pretty good.
dream-link Being an author, director and screenwriter myself I can't just watch a movie without automatically looking for flaws in them. If there's a hole in it I'll most likely find it. I read novels and screenplays over and over again then study the movies along with the scripts to see what is right and what's not. How the target audience reacts to movies is also important in my business. I would be happy to have Hillary Duff star in one of my screenplays. She's the right age, has the right look and the talent to star in the series I'm working on now.I had a fun time reading all the reviews for this movie. I can't help but wonder why adults who hated this movie would bother to set through it let alone write lengthy reviews using highly colorful & hateful terms. If you don't like kiddy movies don't watch them. Intelligent people wouldn't set through something they hated with a passion unless they were deliberately trying to find fault with it or the staring actors.Hillary Duff gets "hate" messages from people who are jealous of her all the time. In fact she gets so much of it she's stopped communicating with most of her fans because of it. It doesn't help anyone, not her, not her fans, not the people who hate her either. It just puts more distance between the fans and the actors/actresses and that's completely uncalled for. Either you like the movie or the actors or you don't. I have a list I don't care much for either but I'm not going to waste my time using colorful metaphors talking about them.Hillary is one of the sweetest kids you will ever see. She's cute, honest, and when she smiles her entire face glows. My daughter Kristy (15)was watching the Lizzy McGuire movie and said she would like to meet Hillary because she thought that she would be a nice person. I would love for her to have the opportunity to meet Hillary and her mother.Hillary was literally thrown into the acting business after doing a commercial or two. Before that she sang and danced. She was in fact very inexperienced when she did Casper Meets Wendy. If you understand the circumstances you should realize that with no more experience than she had at that time she did a fantastic job in this movie. The KIDS loved her!Casper Meets Wendy isn't a typical Casper movie. The first Casper movie was by far more aimed at the general audience. Overall it was the best of all three for adults and young people alike. A Spirited Beginning was aimed more for the children and Casper Meets Wendy was aimed for the younger children. Of course it was also intended to have a simple plot that anyone could understand including little children. It's a feel good movie. It is not a horror story about a scary ghost or witch. It's for the young and young at heart.For those people who really love to watch bad movies so they can hate them I have list they might like. ;-) You could start with "The Polish Vampire in Burbank" and move on to "Behind the Green Door" just for starters. I find it frustrating to turn the TV on and have 300 or so channels with nothing worth watching. But that's how the movie and TV shows are these days. I can't help but wonder if it is a lack of good scripts or if the producers just can't recognize a good script from a bad one. When a movie as bad as The Blair Witch, made by students on a budget of $8000 can turn a profit of more than $140,000,000 that's sad business. When people pay to see bad movies it sends the wrong signal to every producer in Hollywood. I have no doubt my kids could make a better movie than that.Casper meets Wendy is a feel good movie and if you liked the comics of these characters you should like the movie. The acting and gags are geared for a kiddy flick and they accomplish exactly what the director wanted them to.
ave_smartguy_87 Wendy(Hilary Duff) and her three aunts are hiding out from the evil Desmond Spellman(George Hamilton). While they are hiding out Wendy meets a ghost named Casper. A friendship is formed. So when Desmond goes after Wendy for the greatest witch title Casper helps and Wendy goes thrown down in this warp zone where she will disappear. Hilary shines in this movie. Will Wendy disappear? Find out and go get the movie. This movie is... magical!!!
Goon-2 One early Sunday evening at my house, the television lineup was so very, very boring that the only two things on that I'd even HEARD of were "B*stard Out of Carolina" and this. I have seen Jena Malone several more times than I would have preferred, and plus, I had already missed the beginnings of both films, so I actually chose "Casper Meets Wendy" thinking it would be the more entertaining of the two. Wrong! "Casper Meets Wendy" entertained me for exactly 0 seconds. Subjected to the tortures of cheap-looking film making--particularly the lighting and sound qualities, bumbling villians, dull remaining characters, and Hilary Duff speaking like she swallowed about fifty tanks of helium and acting very cutesy and annoying, and I had the TV turned to stupid "B*stard Out of Carolina" in about five seconds. I didn't like that one either, but every time I tried to turn it back to "Casper Meets Wendy" I felt like I was losing my vision and hearing(sometimes movies might be poorly acted or written, but usefully the "final" cuts of films can get past being poorly shot and recorded), and I felt like losing my lunch everytime Hilary Duff said a line, or villains tried to be Jim Carrey, as if that's a good thing, and overall, I felt so, so BORED that finally, I stopped even turning it to this waste of a film. Unfortunatly, the other one I watched was pretty bad, too, so I now realize that I should have just turned off the TV altogether instead of wasting it on things like this.
