It is certainly a light entertainment for the whole family to watch. It is light because the movie is too short with too few special effects and laughs. Perhaps it should be made with more twist and turn when looking for the key to lift the curse. Eddie did a pretty good job but fall short when expressing sorrow at the final scene.Not so Haunted Mansion - Wookie2630
Having grown up in Southern California and to have ridden The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland dozens of times, I probably have more appreciation for the movie than the average viewer of the film. It was nice for me to be able to see the story behind the Haunted Mansion as well as many characters from the ride in action.
That being said, for the viewers who have not ridden the Haunted Mansion the movie may not be overly entertaining. While there are heart stopping moments where you are scared during the movie, it is a basic children's movie where Eddie Murphy makes a joke about every new situation.
I found the movie to be pretty entertaining the whole way through, but that's only because I have been on the ride. Rent the movie if you are looking for light laughs here and there or if you plan to make a trip to Disneyland/Disneyworld in the future.Ok for a family movie - zensight
This movie was fairly good as far as family movies go. It was entertaining for our kids and managed to mostly keep the adults' interest as well. My almost 6 year old found it slightly scary but he tends to be a bit sensitive to that sort of thing. Our 8 year old loved it.
