POSITIVES…
You've seen this story before about a dead person who became a ghost and now needs to do good things for the people in the life she left behind. If that’s a comfortable go-to premise for you, then by all means enjoy this one!
Victoria Justice is pretty adorable and charming in this as Cassie, the popular party girl who died in a very unfortunate way.
Midori Francis is also pretty adorable and charming in this as her best friend Lisa, the geeky best friend who should be more alive.
Both Justice and Francis are just too cute together on screen, and have great chemistry. Their strong connection is what helps drive the narrative.
A mix of light hearted humor and emotional drama, the story grabs your attention like a situational dramedy might.
While the plot progression is very familiar, it does it’s best to encourage you to want to see it through until the end.
Heartwarming in several good life reaffirming ways.
Effectively heartbreaking in tragically tear-jerker ways.
Thematic worthwhile lessons that are easily relatable.
Wardrobe change. Gotta admit, Cassie has some great outfits, and Victoria Justice wears them really well.
It always fascinates me to see how they make the ghost character try to not touch anything to save money on the special effects work.
NEGATIVES…
This movie is more after life than a party.
It's derivative like heck, so expect the usual cliches, tropes, and conveniences.
Not exactly an extraordinary movie in terms of cinematics.
I had to roll my eyes pretty hard with that final ending scene.
There's a specific exchange between Cassie and Lisa in the beginning that felt really contrived.
Can I just say that it didn’t feel like all the actors were completely invested in making this movie?
If you have a Google Assistant device, watch out for that scene in the movie where they say "Hey Google."
