Teenage Ghost Punk (2014)
Great Family Film
Teenage Ghost Punk is goofy fun that you can watch with your whole family, including Grandma and the little ones. The story itself is appealing but the quirks and lovable nerdiness of the characters are what make the film. The teenagers in the movie look like real high school students - a refreshing change from the usual airbrushed 25 year- old actors we usually see in "teen" movies. The adults (who also look their age) are stereotypes but they're presented in a tongue-in-cheek, good natured way so everyone is in on the joke. Gen Xers will especially enjoy the 1980s musical references, and anyone who has ever lived in the Chicago area will notice a few cool features. Overall, I give this film a top rating because it is real and fresh and nerdy - unlike 90% of the overly slick and formulaic nonsense out there.
