Ghosts killed in the American Revolution need to prove they weren't traitors.

2.5/4 (Okay)

It has charm, and Costello is funny. There's more potential than actual fun.

(Oct. 2021)
C+ (Okay).

It's promising to start with, but the script seems unfinished. There aren't many gags, and half of the story threads have been seemingly forgotten by the end of the movie.

(Oct. 2023)
A magic ring turns a boy into a dog; also, spies?

2.5/4 (Okay).

It's dumb, and feels like a made-for-TV movie, but it's somewhat fun.
