"It strikes me as being far easier to take, funnier even, than the first film." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times

"The movie's style is meticulous, beginning with Ivan Reitman's producing and directing." - Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times

"Sure, this is nowhere as good as the first, but that Bobby Brown song sure is catchy. Actually, they could make several of these films and I’d watch them all." - Sam Panico, B&S About Movies

It's a fine time for slime-time when Doctors Venkman (Bill Murray), Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Spengler (Harold Ramis) regroup to nuke the spooks in this high-spirited comedy.  Sidelined after their spectacular save of New York City five years ago, the heroes of the hereafter once again answer the call when an underground river of ghoulish goo threatens to rot The Big Apple to the core.  Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver, Louis (Rick Moranis), Winston (Ernie Hudson) and Janine (Annie Potts) are all back for the ride as these supernatural superstars swing back into hilarious action!
