caught this movie the other night on fox family channel . appropriate since this flick wouldn't offend even the world's strictest puritan . something would have to happen in order to offend someone . the title is even misleading , it's not the ghost of the mother but rather the ghost that the mother sees. but since she is nuttier than a holiday fruitcake ,she sees more than one ghost , which once again shoots holes in the title . maybe if the apparitions had been scarier , maybe if the acting had been livlier , maybe if someone who was not on prozac had been involved on this project....... well just maybe . good family entertainment doesn't have to be this dull , just look at what disney turns out on a regular basis . avoid this movie unless you're having trouble falling asleep , if that is the case then pull up a pillow and enjoy .
