I am not planning on seeing the new Ghostbusters reboot. It just doesn’t look funny to me, and I am a woman, so it has nothing to do with an all-female cast.

The Husband is planning on seeing the movie because he is a big fan of Melissa McCarthy and he feels the movie trailers are indeed funny. I have no problem with this. I want him to see the movies he wants to see. This one I’m not seeing with him.

It’s not a bad movie, but it is not that good either. There are some parts that are funny and some of the graphics are good. I think they could have done a better job.
