Critic Reviews
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
A fairy tale with the soul of a rerun.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
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.
-
Brian Lowry, Variety
Once the audience has become inured to the wide-eyed protagonist and impressive digitized effects, there's little sense of wonder or awe to be found.
-
Caryn James, New York Times
Casper's movie is not the cleverest one around, but its hero may be the most lovable.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
This doesn't usually happen to me, but 15 minutes before the end of Casper I suddenly realized that if I didn't take a deep breath, I was going to start sobbing.
