What happens

Simão, o Fantasma Trapalhão é um filme de comédia e fantasia brasileiro de 1998, dirigido por Paulo Aragão, escrito e estrelado por Renato Aragão e vagamente baseado na obra O Fantasma de Canterville de Oscar Wilde. Foi o segundo filme de Aragão a conter o elemento "fantasmas", sendo que o primeiro havia sido Os Fantasmas Trapalhões em 1987. O filme foi a estreia da cantora Ivete Sangalo e do ator Luciano Szafir nos cinemas. Além de contar com a participação especial da apresentadora Angélica, que à época participava de seu quarto filme ao lado de Aragão. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
