Top critics, in their words
I suppose you can't blame the star of one of TV's most popular series for attempting to conquer the movies -- yet again. What's perplexing is that Cosby keeps choosing vehicles that seem designed to sabotage the conquest.
Ghost Dad may be the dumbest major-studio movie of this none-too-bright summer.
The comedy represents a step up from the inane debacle of Leonard Part 6, but one has to concede that no other direction was possible.
When a picture's biggest selling point is that it's risque by kiddie standards, that doesn't say much for its overall quality.
Poitier's rhythms are so sluggish that the film's finale seems to have been optically speeded up in a last-ditch attempt to give the picture some dash and energy.
