A great movie...even for a Canadian production. Jean Stapleton does a great job at being dead...and Shae D'Lynn isn't so bad to look at either!!!! The henchmen do a great job at creating a suspenseful yet comical role. If you are looking for a creepy and scary ghost story, this is not for you....but if you want a funny, light story I reccommend you watch it.

Exactly as you'd expect

Strangely-titled, supernaturally-tilted TV comedy which also goes under the far more suitable name of Ghost Mom. The unearthly ex-parent in question is hell-bent on helping her son outwit a posse of vengeful Japanese gangsters. It's neither heaven nor hell, although it does loom close to purgatory.
A REALLY GOOD COMEDY CHASE FILM

The reason I am contributing this synopsis is I am shocked at the low IMDB rating. I have just watched this marvellous DVD yet again. I know it as BURY ME IN NIAGARA. I found Jean Stapleton a pure delight her great acting and great comedy lines poured out of her in every scene. As to all the other actors I could not fault them. I make it clear it is all very light hearted. Most of the film is a chase across the country the reason; Jeans ghost is on a mission to unit her Son with the Father he never met. Jean is also on a quest to return a large red Diamond to the sword from which it was removed. Naturally the thieves are on the trail guns a blazing but never quite catch up with the ice cream van the body and coffin plus diamond are travelling in.
