When a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I have to confess that I’m not actually a huge fan of 'Ghostbusters' in general. In fact, I did grow up with these movies, the cartoons, the toys, and I have to admit that I did love those when I was a kid.
