Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
叙事铺垫不足，小孩儿说会就会，人物说来就来……
很值得电影院观影体验！绝佳的爆米花电影。影片特地营造了80年代的风格，从配乐到装扮到环境。两头牛的CGI都是故意弄得极为粗糙，也保留了第一部里极为中二的召唤场面。怀旧牌打得特别好，原班人马（演员表里有）现身的时候谁不起一身鸡皮疙瘩？演员里的这个亚裔小朋友十分抢戏，成熟可爱而又幽默风趣。
小白棉花糖人好可爱 怀旧系列 其实还行 以孩子视角走剧情 准备去看一下古早版
“第一个奇妙之处是在故事的最后，
菲比太可爱了！！！！！播客太讨厌了:(最后就是美国人的情怀片我不懂，不过确实身边好多大龄人士211204
一切你美鬼故事都是本质温情家庭故事（小演员发挥也太好了！
这帮孩子大概都是神童吧，不然怎么会一瞬间不加思考的就学会了大量的复杂仪器操作方法，并瞬间洞悉了所有的主线任务。全片无聊到只有超市里的棉花糖精，起到了一丝提神的作用。这样粗制滥造毫不走心的致敬，算不算对逝者的不敬？
捉鬼本来就没什么道理，事实上应该做的再搞怪、再飞一些，目前这个选择等于是做了个平衡，情感线和学校属于费戏了。不过还是做出了中段工厂与追车这种不错的效果。最后打boss属实可笑了，不如一堆肥肥有效果
小演员们很可
官方续作！官方发糖！比最近几年乱七八糟的好多了
3.5。致敬1984老版，怪奇物语，小黄人
怎么说呢，就当个小故事看吧，其实挺没劲的，情节近乎白痴，但是特效还可以，只不过boss的设定太拉胯了，全片只记住了那一堆棉花糖
拉情怀？这就是意识形态差距？丝毫没人带怕的，鬼片活生生变青春冒险片
纪念意义胜于剧情。前半段有点像青春版GhostBusters，后半段本以为会来个惊天动地的群魔乱舞，可惜那个长得一点也不苏美尔的Boss太弱，毫无压迫感。全片除了水熊虫幽灵、棉花糖幽灵、两只大牛头狗外就没别的怪了。倒是复刻的车子和电击枪很带感。大人普遍降智，倒是麦肯娜·格瑞丝演的菲比（工装裤+技术宅！）真仙啊，撑起全剧角色亮点。
4/10。前面的铺垫过长，导致后面打Boss的过程过于儿戏，而且有许多人物真的不太重要。
有没有使命召唤的既视感，一个人干掉所有人，还有深呼吸回血大法。
说老实话我觉得一镜到底没什么意思晃得我头晕眼花😵💫！
好莱坞擅长一个IP炒冷饭，多冷、多久也能拿来翻来覆去炒了，能不能炒热，还是炒糊，反正炒了再说。这种套路看多了，实在是激不起兴趣，何况翻炒的手段也就那几手，比如增强特效，死的活了，老的有子孙等等，好点说是有情怀，往不好里说就是拿老套子继续圈钱。
哈哈哈哈哈，蛮好玩的呀。去了个老到不能再老的镇子，用老到不能再老的工具打怪。左右护法竟然是大公牛，太丑了。
