Ghosts Can't Do It is a 1989 American romantic crime fantasy comedy film directed by John Derek. The film stars Bo Derek and Anthony Quinn. The plot follows a wealthy older man who dies and returns as a ghost to persuade his young wife to commit suicide so that he can possess her body and continue living.
The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was also a commercial failure, grossing only $1.4 million against a budget of $15 million. Despite its poor reception, Ghosts Can't Do It has gained a cult following over the years for its bizarre premise and over-the-top performances.
Bo Derek's performance in the film was particularly criticized, with many critics calling it wooden and unconvincing. Anthony Quinn, on the other hand, received some praise for his portrayal of the ghostly husband. The film's screenplay, written by John Derek, was also widely panned for its nonsensical plot and lack of coherence.
Overall, Ghosts Can't Do It is considered a low point in Bo Derek's career and is often cited as one of the worst films ever made. Despite its flaws, the film remains a curiosity for fans of cult cinema and has developed a reputation as a so-bad-it's-good classic.
