Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

uapeople As someone who would normally turn a film like this off i simply couldn't. I found myself trying to accept my parents passing. I didn't realize that there was something within me that i didn't know. I truly didn't accept what I thought I had. The movie as it went on truly gave me a gift and that was the chance to say something to my parents again. I believe anyone who has lost a parent should watch this film and I also feel that people who are lucky enough to still have their parents should watch it too. If you enjoy learning something then this movie will be something that will always stay with you. I believe it's a must for anyone because it teaches people something and any movie that does that is something that's important to watch. i hope you watch it and enjoy it.

billing-7 Just caught an early morning screening of this film on Showtime, and I cannot believe this film has fallen through the cracks. Great cast and it's a tear jerker. For anyone who has lost a mother, this film will touch your heart. I think it's playing throughout December and January on Showtime, but do not know when. If someone could post showtimes, that would be helpful.The film stars Mark Thompson from "The Mark and Brian Show" fame, and surrounds himself with some great actors: Kevin Pollak, Dana Delany, Garry Marshall, Charles Durning, David Keith, and even a cameo from James Franco.

MetalEsp I thought Mother Ghost was an excellent movie. I highly recommend it, especially to people who might be having a hard time dealing with the loss of a loved one. I have been a fan of the Mark and Brian Radio Program, from where Mark Thompson is most well known, so when I heard about this movie I thought I would check it out. I came across it by chance, as a local radio station was giving it away. I watched it and was very impressed with it, so impressed that I called KLOS Radio (where Mark and Brian work) and spoke to Mark directly. I told him that I really enjoyed his movie. So for those of you that enjoy humorous yet thought provoking movies, you will enjoy this.

darkroom_drone Mother Ghost screened at the Long Beach International Film Festival and enjoyed a strong, positive audience response. Everyone laughed at the humor that sprung naturally from the plot and characters, and either cried outright or fought back tears at the climax. Mark Thompson's performance is reminiscent of George Clooney in strength, good looks and humor. In addition, Kevin Pollack pulled off the best rendition of a screen psychiatrist one could ever hope for; pure genius!This film is a genuine surprise in its remarkable use of non-traditional structure. Although it is linear, it is not really three acts; it is a powerful emotional journey in one act, almost like a play. The director, Rich Thorne, and lead actors Mark Thompson (of Mark & Brian fame) and Kevin Pollack pulled out some wonderful surprises for such a simple story: a man struggles to deal with grief after losing his mother. Using creative staging, situations and humor, the story propels an otherwise mundane premise into a real treat for the senses. Fans of either Bergman, Fellini or Hitchcock (yes, they can go together!) will definitely appreciate this fine film.
