DVD Review: Mother Ghost

Wouldn't it be nice to work out issues with your parents this holiday season, even those who have passed on? You wouldn't have all those bad feelings and you could really get into absolute joy. Don't shake your head, it's really possible. All you have to do is watch the movie Mother Ghost.

Keith's life is falling apart because he has not accepted the death of his mother and has major issues with both her and his living father. His wife has threatened divorce and things that were buried with his mother keep reappearing. In absolute desperation he phones in to a faltering radio psychiatrist, Dr. Norris, who has been told he will lose his job if his ratings don't vastly improve. With Dr. Norris giving Keith a caring heart by phone, he begins a type of therapy that just might work for anyone. Besides bringing tears to your eyes, the movie will make you ask yourself if you have any unfinished business with your own parents. Mother Ghost has a unique storyline and excellent acting by Mark Thompson and Kevin Pollak. It is a psychological comedy that will grip your heart and maybe improve your holiday season. -Henry (Downtown)
