it was really funny in the first half. But the laughs slowed down more and more the longer the movie went on. Second half had zero laughs which was disappointing. The blonde chick was awesome. I still cant stand McCarthy though. The CGI was FANTASTIC! The ghosts looked really really good. The final battle was great. Not better than the original but the hate was definitely not deserved. But IMO most of that was Sony's fault. Good sized crowd in my theater too. Lots of little girls.
