Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Casper's movie is not the cleverest one around, but its hero may be the most lovable.
New York Times
Only Ricci, strange gothic child that she is, gets close to shining next to the animation.

Film4
Brad Silberling's ghostly CINDERELLA is family-friendly fare with enough star cameos, gags and cultural references to appease adults.
Total Film
...Ricci is an enchanting young actress who brings to mind a teenage Natalie Wood...
Variety
Rating: C --
A fairy tale with the soul of a rerun.

Entertainment Weekly
It's not clear why Steven Spielberg's Amblin decided to make a live-action entertainment starring the least interesting and most saccharine of all 50s cartoon characters.

Chicago Reader
It's a funny and often poignant film that's worth reexamining today.

Product Description:
Steven Spielberg produced this live-action feature starring the friendly ghost created in 1940 by Joe Orolio. In it, greedy heiress Carrigan Crittenden inherits the haunted Whipstaff Manor and discovers that the house contains a treasure, which is closely guarded by three nasty ghosts. She invites ghost therapist Dr. James Harvey, and his daughter Kat, to move into the eerie mansion and get rid of the supernatural creatures.
The nephew of the three spirits is Casper, a friendly ghost who becomes Kat's pal. Casper takes Kat to his father's secret lab where he once attempted to bring Casper back to life with a special machine. Carrigan eavesdrops on their conversation and decides to become a ghost herself, in the hope that she will get the booty more easily. Then she can use the machine to change back to a human. However, Carrigan doesn't realize that you can't flirt with the afterlife.
