 | Anyone who is a fan of the ride Haunted Mansion at any of the Disney parks will enjoy this movie and will find the elements of the ride peppered through out. The fleshed out story of the Gracey family was inventive and the special effects were enjoyable without being over done. |
| Rating | | | Date | June 11, 2005 | | Summary | Another Childrens Movie Being Underrated By The Adult Mind | Content
| If you notice the ratings on this movie you rarely see a child's rating or a parent's rating. When your watching this movie alone and your over your teen years remember on the front cover it says Walt Disney. This movie to me is severely underrated I think the entire cast and crew did a great job from the special effects to the acting. The story was good not too original but it was done very well. I think some people aren't liking Eddy Murphy's change to childrens movie's and that's why everyone he's in can't get anything over 3 1/2 stars. We have to remember if the kids get a laugh out of it and a few jumps then it was a good movie and there's keeping them occupied and that's exactly what this does. Babysitters I highly recommend. |

| I THOUGHT IT WAS AN OKAY FILM. I JUST THINK EDDIE MURPHY COULD HAVE DONE BETTER, IN BEING HOW FUNNY HE IS. I WOULDN'T BUY THE MOVIE. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WATCH IT FIRST AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL... |

| Unlike most of the people who watched this film,I really enjoyed it! I was entertained from start to finish, I loved the plot and the dark vibe that you feel as you're watching it. It's a very clever and funny story about a man who is always working at his business.
One day, his wife gets a phone call to come and visit a mansion that they want to be sold. For some odd reason, the people who live in this mansion only wants her to come, not her husband. Of course, this mansion is The Haunted Mansion. The whole family makes a stop at the mansion, just to check it out. Unfortunately, the rain causes them to have to stay all night. This starts the fun and eciting adventure through The Haunted Mansion.
It features a wonderful story that makes perfect sense, and it also features adventures. Take an exciting ride through The Haunted Mansion with this family and all of the creepy people who live inside the mansion!

| That's right another movie based after a ride, this is the weaker of the two. Not to say the film dosn't have its moments, in fact it is pretty entertaining. Of course it isn't a classic by far. The film was scripted by David Berenbaum to what I guess was his best, I feel the film could have used a much better script. But of couse that can't rely solely on the writer to make this film good. Producers Don Hahn, and Andrew Gunn could have lent a hand at making it all it can be, of course it's not fair to lay it all on them either. The directer is suppossed to bring every thing to the big screen, that role fell apon Rob Minkoff. It seems that this film could have used a little more push on his part. This is apaint since the falt of this film was definintly not the special effects, Sony Pictures did a great job in that department. Now don't get me wrong I think all the stated above did good jobs, I just think it could have been better.
As far as acting goes Eddie Murphy does what he can with the script, in fact it is his timing and facial exprestions that make the film good, and as far as supporting roles go, everybody at the house does n excellent job. It is his family members that I think fell a little below in that department.
All in all this is a decent flick, and worth your time at least once, I pearsonally could watch it numorous times for the singing heads.
