Review of Casper Meets Wendy

Watched October 1st, 2017 🎃

🎞️🎞️🎞️

This is the first time in many years that I have watched this movie and I enjoyed it, but it was not as good as I remembered it. The best part of this film is the villain which I will get into later on. The title characters, Casper and Wendy's friendship is cute. This is a very corny movie that really did not hold up to what I remember from it. It's a great movie for kids, but I'm not so sure for adults.

My favorite part of this movie is the villain, Desmond Spellman, his goons Jules and Vincent, and the oracle in the mirror. Every part of the movie that has any of them is funny. Desmond is played by the great George Hamilton and is a reason to watch this movie. Really, I would recommend this movie just for his parts. The rest does not have much substance, but his parts made up for that for me.

There are plenty of great movies from my childhood that still hold up for me today, this is not one of them. I did enjoy parts of the movie most of them being with Desmond. He's not in it enough for me to make it completely enjoyable. Actually, I became bored while watching many of the other parts. I loved Hilary Duff in this movie, especially seeing the difference from then and now. I'm glad I started with this movie for my October, they will only get better now.
