What happens

Ghost Dad is a 1990 American fantasy comedy film directed by Sidney Poitier (in his final directorial effort) and starring Bill Cosby, in which a widower's spirit is able to communicate with his children after his death. The film was released on June 29, 1990. Though the film was nominated for three Young Artist Awards, it was panned by critics and grossed just $25 million against its $30 million budget. This was Cosby's final leading role in a feature film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
