Casper Meets Wendy (1998)

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Three witches , three ghosts , two friends and a dangerous enemy. Every thing is excellent but the final result is terrible. It's not clear what is wrong with film , maybe you ought to ask what is correct with film!? "Absolutely nothing " we can summary the film in only one sentence : everything is out of place and you should arrange it again.

Casper, a ghost, teams up with Wendy, a witch, against an evil warlock. Casper meets Wendy is nowhere as good as the first film especially when is a straight to video film but it still a huge fun the film has some nice performances mostly by a young and cute Hilary Duff also Teri Garr, Shelley Duvall and Cathy Moriarty. Now the problem with this film is mostly the effects that are sloppy as hell, some of the performances are over the top and forced mostly the bad guys and the humor is also one of the same forced and dumb and over the top. It's still a pretty good film with a nice message that a witch and a ghost can become friends and work together in order to beat evil. Like i said it does have problems but for the most part pretty good.

i saw through the plot like you see through casper. the first one was the coolest, and maybe the second one, but definitely not the third. like the austin powers francise, you are bound to have a stinker, and this one was it. hilary duff was being told to do this flick, since it is so obvious to me that she was clueless on what her character's stupid jokes meant. tv producers just wanted to get her name out on the mainstream, and that one didnt help, since she's moved on to better things... So, wendy the famous witch from the same company that made casper, meets casper and has fun with him while getting witches and ghosts to combine their powers. what a bunch of garbage, and the corny jokes that are supposed to make the other characters feel dumb and ignorant made the person saying them ignorant. not a laugh was stirring in me at all. the laughing urge wasnt there at all. casper is a cute ghost, and the other three are good too, but leave the dead to rest in peace and if you really need a casper fix, watch the first two or read the comics. (F F-)

This is by no means a great movie at all, the special effects are pretty dodgy and the story quite weird also. The main reason why this would be of interest to viewers is that it marks the film debut of Hilary Duff, who is 11 years old in this film. This movie was one of her first ever jobs and she does a good job, given the material she is working with. Her voice is a lot higher pitched than it is on Lizzie. A standout scene would be Wendy and Casper dancing under a gazebo.
