Nick needs a new guardian while his dad is in a coma so he is passed into the hands of his eccentric aunt. Debra Kurts plays Aunt Edna who talks to a doll called Diana. I enjoyed her performance and that of Julie Chapin who plays a kindly widow called Mrs Goldstein. Nick is forced to stay in an outhouse, at Aunt Edna's, where he finds a pair of magical glasses that enable him to see dead people and talk to them. There is also a stage psychic called Friskin who is naturally interested in the ability Nick has acquired. People who enjoy 'ParaNorman' may like this one and also youngsters going through a goth phase. There are some whacky moments with Nick's grotesque ghost crew of friends. A cemetery ghost teaches Nick martial arts so he won't get bullied so much. Nick gets called Harry Potter and the glasses do give him the appearance of that character. There is a nice sentimental piece about Nick's pet kitten which he finds in a cemetery. The version I saw only had a running time of 74 minutes which I find just right.
