Casper is one of those films that was clearly made with the children in mind. The plot holes are huge, the idea is ridiculous, and the movie is pretty sloppily arranged. That said, kids do not focus on those things. They will be fascinated with the idea of the friendly ghost and his interactions with the family living in their house. The Ghostly Trio are an extremely annoying collection of characters but the rest of the cast does quite well. Bill Pullman is fun enough to watch as the paranormal psychiatrist and Christina Ricci as his daughter is great.
This is a good movie to watch around Halloween time with the kids. It is tame enough that they won't be frightened but at the same time it has a very gloomy/autumn feel to help add to the Halloween season. Grab your candy corn and watch this one with your kid. But make sure they brush their teeth, dental bills add up.
