Ghostbusters (2016)

...Because anything that pissed the misogynists off so much had to have something to recommend it. This proved to be true, in that it was genuinely the most flat-out enjoyable film I've seen in several months -  unpretentious entertainment that didn't ladle on the pathos in an attempt to be taken seriously. If leads Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy were a little understated, then Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth amply compensated with sparkling comic turns. I was touched by the many warmhearted homages to the (vastly inferior) original, too. Not great cinema by any means, but a truly, unreservedly great time.
