However, when Sam is murdered by his friend and corrupt business partner Carl Bruner over a shady business deal, he is left to roam the earth as a powerless spirit. Here's the plot: "Sam Wheat is a banker, Molly Jensen is an artist, and the two are madly in love. You probably already know what the movie's about, but just in case.

Read on for a listing of streaming and cable services - including rental, purchase, and subscription choices - along with the availability of 'Ghost' on each platform when they are available. One can only imagine how much worse the film would have been had they all been allowed to stay in.Need to watch ' Ghost' on your TV, phone, or tablet? Hunting down a streaming service to buy, rent, download, or view the Jerry Zucker-directed movie via subscription can be a huge pain, so we here at Moviefone want to do right by you. The only good news is that, in the closing credits, we get to see many of the scenes, lines and characters that were, apparently, filmed, then dropped from the final product. I hope the other actors trapped in this mess at least got paid well for their endeavors. After all, he handed HIMSELF this material. But then Carvey wrote the screenplay, so he HAS to be a good sport about it. So is Carvey when you come right down to it. In addition to the celebrity walk-ons (Bo Derek, Jesse Ventura, Paula Abdul, among others), Harold Gould, James Brolin, Jennifer Espinoto, Brent Spiner and Edie McClurg are all good sports who deserve better material than what they have been handed here. It isn't funny the first time it happens and, believe me, it is even less funny the fourth, fifth (or is it sixth?) time around. To get a general notion of the level of humor in this film, please note that the running gag involves one character's tendency towards uncontrollable flatulence. Actually, I have rarely seen a film in which the jokes, `bits' and setups fall as consistently flat as they do here. This allows the filmmakers to enlist the aid of a number of real life celebrities who end up making cameo appearances, in the misguided belief, most likely, that this was going to be a fun, entertaining movie comedy. Stealing much of its concept from `The Mask,' `The Master of Disguise' involves Carvey in some nonsense about a family of crime fighters who are able to magically don all sorts of disguises at a moment's notice.
Watching him mug, cavort and pratfall his way through a laughless script for the better part of an hour and a half ultimately becomes as wearying as it is embarrassing to watch.
However, Carvey's manic, over-the-top style is, apparently, a whole lot easier to take in small doses. I love Carvey's work on `Saturday Night Live,' especially his impersonations of many of the major political figures of our time. Thus, while his `Wayne's World' partner, Mike Myers, is out there making both a fortune and an indelible impression on pop culture with his `Austin Powers' franchise, poor Dana Carvey is reduced to appearing in disastrous vehicles like this one. (The answer, by the way, is, yes, it can be done). `The Master of Disguise' raises and indeed answers the question of whether or not it is possible for a movie that bills itself as a `comedy' to run from beginning to end without offering a single funny moment.
