The movie's slogan is "Believe," not an unreasonable request. But even those who'd be happy to comply must get past Ghost's one casting jaw-dropper, a certain woolly-mindedness to its script and a production prettified to the point of stickiness.

Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times

What it offers, apart from the overblown special effects that seem inescapable in American movies, is an unusual and effective combination of swooning, morbid romance and screwball comedy.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune

The passion and poignancy of trying to communicate with the dead is well-exploited here. Moore has never been more fetching.

Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune

Given its obviously commercial aims, Ghost is remarkably appealing on a purely personal level. It is about how you deal with death.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

Ghost is one part horror picture, one part comedy, one part love story, one part murder mystery and four parts entrancing.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
