Ghost Dad

(1990)Directed by Sidney Poitier84 min · PGComedy, Family, Fantasy
“He's been walking through doors. He's been falling through floors. He's been going through a lot lately, but he's still Dad.”

Elliot Hopper (Bill Cosby), a widower with three children, is racing to close a business deal that could get his family out of debt when a taxi accident kills him. Sidney Poitier follows him as he tries to finish the deal from beyond, with help from a paranormal researcher, Sir Edith Moser (Ian Bannen). Under the comedy sits a plain worry, that a parent has to find a way to look after his kids even when he can no longer be in the room.
