Review

The next stage of evolution for the Ghostbusters series has a heap of trouble adapting to the environment. The obsession with bodily functions already seems out of date, while the story structure is still rooted in the '80s. Reitman's formula brings together two laid-back professors (Duchovny and Jones) to investigate a meteorite, discovered by a bumbling fireman-in-training (Scott). The meteorite brought something with it: an alien ecosystem that rapidly adapts to the surrounding environment, threatening to gross out the affluent community and spread across the earth. Who you gonna call? Our trepid heroes take it upon themselves to fight the unmenacing menace, as well as the bungling Army operation (which includes a pratfalling Julianne Moore, revoking her Meryl Streep Club membership). The effects are nothing great, and the scripted jokes are pretty flat. Still, Reitman keeps the tone light and the cast loose; their casual interaction makes this summery lark breeze by, though it'll pass through your system quicker than Orlando Jones through the climactic alien's sphincter.
