Product Description
From Amazon.com
Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, My Favorite Year) gives an exuberant performance in High Spirits. Peter Plunkett (O'Toole) hopes to save his mortgaged castle by turning it into a tourist attraction--the most haunted castle in Ireland. When American tourists arrive--among them Jack (Steve Guttenberg) and Sharon (Beverly D'Angelo), a couple whose marriage is rapidly disintegrating--Plunkett's tomfoolery arouses the real ghosts, who decide to give these interlopers everything they're asking for. But when Jack accidentally helps a beautiful ghost named Mary (Daryl Hannah), she decides he's the man to help her break the curse she's been suffering for 200 years. High Spirits is an odd foray into comedy by director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire). The special effects are clumsy, but the strong supporting cast includes Jennifer Tilly, Peter Gallagher, and Liam Neeson as Mary's murderous 200-year-old husband. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Daryl Hannah, Peter O'Toole and Steve Guttenberg star in this gleefully ghoulish comedy sparkling with romance and rollicking with supernatural special effects. Written and directed by Neil Jordan (Interview With the Vampire) and co-starring Beverly D'Angelo, Jennifer Tilly, Peter Gallagher and Liam Neeson, High Spirits is the most fun you'll have in this world or the next!Impoverished Peter Plunkett (O'Toole) hatches the perfect plan to save his debt-ridden Irish castle: lure American tourists by advertising the place as haunted. But when Peter and his staff don sheets and chains to go a-haunting, they scare up more than paying guests'they arouse the real ghosts of Castle Plunkett! And when American tourist Jack (Guttenberg) spies a gorgeous ghost named Mary (Hannah), it's love at first sighting. Now all Jack has to worry about is Mary's murderous spook of a husband and their 200-year age difference!

This review is from: High Spirits (DVD)
Although the acting of Steve G in this movie is on par with his normally poor level, I love the story. It's cute and it was the first time I saw Liam Neeson in a film. I have enjoyed his movies since then. Don't particularly like Daryl Hannah either. Liam and the cute story line make this movie for me.

I use to watch this movie when I was little. It is not as good as I remember but still worth watching.

Cant wait!!,
By Amy Burton (N.Ireland, Co.Down) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High Spirits (VHS Tape)
I have been searching for this video for ages! I had tried all the local Music and video shops in my town and also in Belfast but everyone had given me the same answer, it had stopped being sold a few yeas ago and unfortunalty is impossible to get hold of. I was very dissapointed. Finally a friend said try Amazon, so I did and now Im just waiting for Amazon to post it to me, please GET A MOVE ON! I am grateful you have a copy but you are taking forever to get it over here!!
