    • Quotes

      Janine Melnitz: Your father wasn't much of a homemaker. He could barely keep the power on.

      Callie: You're saying he left us nothing?

      Janine Melnitz: Well, I wouldn't say nothing... there is quite a bit of debt.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Janine is talking with Winston at his corporate office; this scene becomes a voice-over and transitions to Winston visiting the Ghostbusters' fire station headquarters and returning Ecto-1 to its parking spot. After this, a red light on a containment unit within the station begins glowing and an ominous noise is heard.

    The closing and the beginning
    I saw it preview last night. A film that in some points recalls the first Gostbuster, but which has its own ideology. The characters they present to us are almost all well characterized and useful to the plot. The director did a good job, given the great responsibility he had with this film. Some ideas are very bright and innovative. The first hour and a half is very beautiful, full of jokes and suspenseful scenes, the problem is the last half hour that is lost a bit by recalling the first film a lot. The soundtrack is irrelevant, apart from those two moments when you hear the original themes. Overall it is a good film, not at the levels of the first but certainly superior to the female Gostbuster.
