Ghost Dad Earns 3 Lesters |
| This movie was about a father who dies by drowning. He was in a cab and the driver drove off a bridge. He then becomes a ghost. At first he doesn't realize that he really is a ghost. He makes it home and discovers that when it is dark he can be seen. Even though he is a ghost he still has to take care of his family because his wife died some time ago. | He runs into difficulties because he can't always be with his family. He also has to go to an appointment to get life insurance because he doesn't have it yet. He finds out that the only way he can come back to life is to get back inside his body. One time when he was home his daughter falls down the stairs and turns into a ghost. |
She is then rushed to the hospital. While they were at the hospital the father notices that he is dying even as a ghost (this happens because his body was still alive, but now is dying). If you want to know what happens next you are going to have to watch the movie (trust me, it is a great movie). |
