Review
Who you gonna call? That song is still awesome. The cast for this movie is great, and it's not hard to see why it's a cult classic - Venkman, Ray (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and later Winston (Ernie Hudson) were the perfect nuclear team, and between their chemistry and the movie's fun premise and upbeat tone, it's definitely a fun watch. There is a lot of wasted time with Dana (Sigourney Weaver) and her plot with Louis (Rick Moranis), but the ending scene was definitely hilarious. Big shout to Janine (Annie Potts), who's hilarious.
Spoiler Territory
Crossing streams is now like a big thing in pop-culture, which just goes to show how cool the ending was. Of course, the marshmallow man scene is absolutely wonderful. Also, I really really hate that environmental agency guy. Couldn't tolerate him at all, and I wasn't entirely sure what turning the machine off would do. Still, the ending was nice, and the music is awesome.
