With comic books and cartoon series full of muscle-bound superheroes vying for big-screen superstardom, it's nice to see a gentler character making such an impact in his first film outing. Here, Casper the Friendly Ghost is doing his bit to make Whipstaff Manor a homelier place for lonely Christina Ricci to live, but it's his ghoulish uncles Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso who scare up all the fun in this enchanting family comedy. Although the movie is dominated by special effects, Cathy Moriarty's hissable villainy nearly steals the show. Once just won't be enough for most youngsters.

An unpleasant attempt to revive a comic-book character, both sickly with sentiment and tasteless in its attitudes to life and death; the special effects are spectacular, though.

Lonely guy he may be, but the incorporeal, 'living-impaired' kid of the title occupies a haunted manor like Xanadu,... read more on Time Out

Warning!
Do not drink alcohol while watching this film!
Combined together they cause emotions to run high, and tears to be shed! -
This a particular favoraite of mine ... casper the friendly ghost beholds whipstaff mansion .. and because his spooky little cousins decide to make his death a misery .. enter the little Ricci.... whom he falls in love with and the story begins to unfold Whipstaff holds the secret to enternal life / death .. and the bad guys want it ..whatever the cost
Fun for all the family -
not bad
the story in short is a guy and his daughter (mother died)move into a new house which happens to be haunted by casper and three unfriendly friendly ghosts who try to get the occupants to vacate but they stay. A young christina ricci who starred in a lot of kids films around the time a good family film on the whole

A lovable film for all.
You have your laughs and tears in this film. If you're a softy like me the words 'Can I keep you?' will have you in tears at the end. Great fun film.

Interesting but..
it was ok, but it has aged and i only got this for my 3 year old son to watch. He was not impressed and only liked when he saw the ghosts. And watching Christina Ricci and her enormous forehead was quite frightening!!
