This really is a great comedy, once again showcasing Bill Murray at his apathetic best. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are funny as well in their supporting roles as true scientific geeks, but this movie really ties a lot together. I'm biased about it, as it has been a favorite of mine since my sister was gracious enough to take me to see it at the local theater when I was a kid, and still think it holds up pretty well despite it's damn near 20 years old now (cripes! has it really been that long?). Sure some of the effects are kinda hokey, but that kinda goes along with the whole feel to the movie, anyways.
The University ends up cutting their three parapsychology doctors, forcing them to go out into the "real" world. But their recent developments in tracking ghosts open a new avenue for them as "Ghostbusters," quickly taking the city of New York by storm, so to speak. But as the case with many parapsychologist-oriented films, things quickly turn nasty, forcing them to step up to the plate to save the world! Or at least New York. It doesn't really matter, it's still pretty fuckin funny. Great light-hearted performances by Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis as the geeky neighbor. Last in the classic "trilogy" of comedies pairing Reitman and Murray (following Meatballs and Stripes).
