(1,205 posts)The night Thomas Reilly was born, his parents were in an accident with a bus. The passengers on the bus were killed and as ghosts they were tied to Thomas from the day he was born. As a baby and a child, he could see and hear the ghosts and the ghosts loved him. But the also got him in trouble and Social Services was called to talk to his parents. The ghosts decide to "vanish," much to the displeasure of young Thomas, but they're still with him. About 25 years later, the bus driver returns to take them away. He tells them they were supposed to have worked out their personal problems. Now, the ghosts decide to reappear to Thomas to get him to help them resolve the problems in their lives. Thomas is shocked by their reappearance but reluctantly agrees to help them causing him to get into a number of embarrassing and comic situations all the while trying to resolve his own relationship problem with his girlfriend.
This is a cute and funny move starring Robert Downey Jr., Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, Kyra Sedgwick, Tom Sizemore, and Elisabeth Shue. The boy playing young Thomas Reilly is really adorable especially when he's in his school's boy's room singing Walk Like a Man with the ghosts.
