    A Funny and Entertaining Film.

    "Susie Q" is a very enjoyable film that is funny and hilarious. Justin Whalin, Amy Jo Johnson, and Shelley Long are great in the film. The film is like a mystery, but is also a comedy. This is a very enjoyable and entertaining film. I give this film a 7 out of 10. :)

    Fun and Enjoyable, worth watching.

    Although not the most technically advanced film I have seen, this was a fun and enjoyable couple of hours. The main characters are sweet and you really get to like them, and feel something when Susie Q. has to go, but feel good again when she returns as Maggie.

    Lots of stock dialogue, and a contrived plot-line, but most of all, LOTS OF FUN.

    So cute

    This movie was one of the cutest movies I have ever seen. The plot is funky and I really enjoyed it. I taped it but I taped over it. I wish I hadn't. I will tape it when and if it comes on again. Just watch it. It is very enjoyable for kids, especially.

    Slight but Fun...

    A slight but fun film about a young girl who dies in a car crash on her way to the high school prom, only to come back some thirty years later in the form of a ghost to help settle a few things with the help of a teenager living in her old house. Stupid, slight and fun to watch. Recycled premise and jokes, very basic, but fun.

    3/5 stars -

    This is a must see if you adore Justin Whalin and lost souls from the age when "Susie Q" and "Johnny Angel" were the popular songs.

    Susie Q, is a very adorable movie I stumbled upon on the disney channel. One plus for watching this is Justin Whalin. His presence kind of helps with covering up Amy Jo Johnson, otherwise known as the ever-lasting Pink Ranger.

    Well if you stand watching her prance around in her too tight prom dress then you'll be ok. If you can stand watching Justin Whalin in his boxer shorts trying to be modest then you'll be even better. The plot of the movie is a quest to save Susie Q's (Amy Jo) parents from being homeless by finding her grandfather's papers that stake his claim to half the town. In the process Justin Whalin's character falls in love with Susie Q's ghost. It's a very cute movie, I could tell the whole plot and some dialogue, but I don't think I should spoil the ending and such for you.
