How come only 7.4 (or whatever)?


I would have thought a classic like this would be 8.something for sure. What are some of the things people don't like about it?

reply

It doesn't seem to be rated quite as highly for people under the age of 30.

It surprises me because although a lot of it will look very old, there aren't many fun movies like this anymore, so I thought young people would dig it.

reply

It's 7.8

Biggest discrepancy:
Non-US voters 7.6
US voters 8.1

Nevertheless, 63.6% of all voters rate it 8 or above, which is pretty good.

It dropped in ratings because Mellissa Mcarthy ate them trying to save face for that abomination she was in.

imo

Lol yeah it is a really great film, and at the time it was like experiencing a masterpiece.

That is a way too low rating for a classic comedy :(

Caddyshack gets about the same. I've noticed a lot of older comedies from the 80s and early 90s don't get that high of a rating on here. Probably is because of younger people. I once met a 15 year old who said this movie was dumb and that the whole concept of catching ghosts is dumb. Immature teenagers will be immature teenagers.
