OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN by Nell Minow
“She was ideally forged because the candy, confused Sandy, singing about holding palms and consuming lemonade. And that’s the reason her transformation on the finish, with these iconic skin-tight leather-based pants, is such a shock.

The poppy love track as they dance by way of the Enjoyable Home and the automotive flying off into the clouds give the ending a reassuring wink.”

“Regardless of the movie’s huge recognition, Reitman’s contributions to the mission have at all times tended to be underrated when it’s mentioned. Not like his earlier movies, which had been comparatively modest in dimension, funds, and ambition, ‘Ghostbusters’ was a massively costly proposition that tried to mix collectively two issues that didn’t essentially go collectively simply—elaborate particular results and broad humor.”
