The new hosts of the old Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert show “At The Movies” did a “over rated/underrated” segment of SNL alumni movies.

A.O. Scott picked Ghostbusters as the most overrated!

If you go to www.atthemoviestv.com and look for the video “SNL Alumni Movies Over/under rated” you can see it there!

Easy to say, that it took Comedy to a more broader scale by adding action and special effects, but its that 50/50 risk of uniqueness and originality which makes it so appealing.

the only two comedies, that followed this formula were Men in Black and Back to the Future (atleast the only 2 that come to mind) and those were great movies. if it was over-rated and done to death, we would of had dozens and dozens of Ghostbusters clones.

I dont think GB is overrated anyway, over publicized maybe, but not over rated, most people dont really praise it for what it really is. they mostly just like the remember the theme song and stay puft.

Tommy Boy's underrated, i'll agree. but Anchorman? Anchorman was crap, it had maybe 2 or 3 good lines.

And Trading Places is over-rated? i mean im not defending it, but ive never heard it being over praised and over rated. Does the average movie-goer even remember this movie? it was a hit back in the 80s and faded away.

Man, i really want Siskel and Ebert back, atleast they knew what they were talking about…but thats not gonna happen.

I guarantee most people can't name all four Ghostbusters. But yeah, it's totally overrated. What a crock.

I don't think it's overrated. It only gets a 7.8/10 on imdb.com. And there's only 82,601 votes compared to The Dark Knight which has over over 400,000 votes. Now the Dark Knight is overrated. And 376,876 give it an 8/10 or higher. I also think 300 and Sin City are both overrated. Actually I didn't realise that the rating of 300 went down. So that isn't overrated anymore. Avatar is also overrated.

Sarcasm. And I agree, Avatar is the most overrated film of all time. Cameron hasn't had an original idea since Abyss.

Come on! Terminator 2 and True Lies are both excellent movies!
