The same jewelry she was buried in. Kei... more »th tells his wife Karen, (Dana Delaney) about the jewelry and that is the last straw. She claims he is distant and has shut her out.

Keith winds up on the phone with a popular radio Psychiatrist (Kevin Pollak) who guides Keith through what he cannot see on his own. Keith discovers a new man and a new attitude. Several people are listening to Keith's plight on the radio and are making changes of their own. Is this dead visitor all in Keith's head or is she truly a Mother Ghost?« less

This is one of the best movies I have watched in a while. Very touching story about letting go and forgiveness. You will need a few tissues w/this one.

Didn't expect much from this movie, and, boy, was I surprised. What a great film! Well-acted, poignant, funny, and had me in tears for the last 30 minutes or so. A slice of life you won't forget for some time. And, betcha a dime to a doughnut you'll call your dear old Mom after viewing.

Fantastic performances

"Mother Ghost is one of those little movies that sneaks up on you and truely catches you by surprise. Looking at the cover you can see it is packed with actors that have been doing 'this' for awhile now and know their way around a set. With the exception of one, that being Mark Thompson. This movie is actually his brainchild, his blood, sweat and tears if you will. And after watching it you will never believe that this is his first starring turn in a movie. He has done tons of very small parts on various tv shows and movies, including his own tv show on NBC in the early 90's but he is probably more famous for his voice. He is one half of the Mark and Brian Radio Show eminating from Los Angeles and broadcasting over the US. The aforementioned show he starred in for NBC was The Adventures of Mark and Brian and was the very 1st, THE VERY FIRST, reality TV show. His acting, his performance is the one you will be talking about long after the credits have ended."

"This is an absolute amazing movie...I can't say enough! I am passing this around to everyone I know insisting they watch it...When they do they cannot believe how amazing it is! Like others, I've been a long-time listener of Mark & Brian and was surprised to learn of this endeavor by Mark Thompson, just the other day. I must say that Mark was absolutely incredible with his performance in this movie, let alone creating it!! I recently lost my beloved Father, way before his time, and this movie was SO inspiriing for my Mother (wife of 42yrs) and myself. Even if you haven't lost the most important, loving person in your life, you'll ADORE & CHERISH this movie...it's theme, message and acting!! My word Mark, who knew you were THIS talented?!! I pray we all get to see MUCH more from and OF YOU in the movies!!!!!!"
Excellent movie!!!!

"This one hits the human heart deeply. A must see for everyone to watch. This movie shows us all how human we all are and the wounds that we get and how they affect us. This is a perfect display of how someone would go about healing their wounds. It really spoke to me and the wounds that I've encountered in my life. Not the same as mine but it made me think of mine wounds and what I need to do to heal myself."
A deep, revealing movie

"I was very surprised at this film. It touches on a subject that will rock all of our worlds sooner or later: the death of one's beloved mother. In this film the main character(played with amazing skill and emotional nakedness by Mark Thompson)lives in a state of denial as to the effect his mother's death has had upon his ability to function in life. His home life is basically in the toilet and he is forced to face his issues head-on through the help of a radio psychologist.
This film features some top talent, many of whom have careers that go back decades. The movie is not blockbuster material and does not try to be. After viewing you get the feeling that there was an understood collective vision amongst everyone involved- that they set out to make a movie that mattered. A film that touches the heart and actually says something. They succeeded."
