The spirit realm collides with the everyday world in this spooky Halloween movie from R. L. Stine, creator of the Mostly Ghostly books. Eleven-year-old Max Doyle (Sterling Beaumon) is obsessed with magic and is gearing up for a Halloween show. When Max's recitation of a newly discovered magic chant raises and angers evil spirit Phears, Max is shocked to discover that he can see spirits that no other human can. Nick (Luke Benward) and Tara (Madison Pettis), two young lost human spirits, beg Max to help them solve the mystery of their parents unexplained disappearance and Max agrees in exchange for their help with his magic act. Max hesitantly travels between the spirit world and human world to help his new friends and discovers that he is the one and only mortal who can permanently close the tunnel between realms and stop Phears from unleashing of a world of suffering spirits on humankind. This supernatural tale is sure to entertain suspense and thriller fans, but may prove too scary for sensitive children or those under 7 years old. While featuring a cast full of known tween stars and their siblings, the acting seems forced--a fact that bothers adult audiences far more than the tween audience for which the film is intended. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

Max is hardly a typical 11-year-old: he loves magic, detests sports, and can’t seem to say a single word to his crush, Traci, the most popular girl in school. But when he’s the only one who can see the ghosts haunting his house, two young spirits make him the deal of a lifetime: he’ll help them solve the mystery of their parents' disappearance and battle a wicked ghoul, if they’ll help him go from being invisible to the most talked-about kid at school! Featuring an all-star cast including Madison Pettis (The Game Plan), Ali Lohan (TV's Living Lohan), Luke Benward (How to Eat Fried Worms), Noah Cyrus (TV’s Hannah Montana) and Sterling Beaumon (Four Christmases), it’s one spooky mishap after another in this haunted adventure! Filled with thrills, chills and hilarious spills, R. L. Stine’s Mostly Ghostly will have the whole family on the edge of their seats!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Halloween Movie, October 6, 2008

By	K. Futrell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mostly Ghostly is a great halloween movie. The acting is great and the storyline is even better. It is along the lines of goosebumps if you are familiar with that series. Here is a short version of the storyline...A brother (Nicky) and sister (Tara) come back to their old neighborhood just to find out that they are ghosts. They can't find their parents so they go to their old house in search of them only to find a new family lives there. One of the kids that lives at their old house (Max) can see and talk to the Tara and Nicky but Max is the only one. Tara and Nicky are scared because nothing is familiar to them now so they inlists Max's help to find their parents. A quest to find the parents lead the kids into a lot of different trouble...buy the movie to see what happens next.

There are a lot of familar faces in this movie including Madison Pettis (The gameplan), Kim Rhodes and Brian Stepanek (suite life of zack and cody), Ali Lohan (Lindsay's little sister), and Noah Cyrus (Miley's little sister). This is actually a great family halloween movie that the entire family will enjoy. If you are looking for a great family Halloween movie I suggest that you add Mostly Ghostly to your dvd collection.

I watched this movie with all my friends, and it kept me interested whole way through. Everybody is talking about this movie now at my high school. I could watch it over 100 times, and it still wouldn't get old! This movie has it all. It's exciting, scary at times, and has a shocking ending!! Add it to your collection!
