I don’t think it was an awful first film for her, but to be fair, the movie is not good. But I am with you that Hilary did her best in this, and tbh, I think she was a good choice for Wendy. But apart from Wendy and Casper, who honestly were the best parts of the whole movie imo,(obviously) none of the other characters in this movie were good and it felt like this movie ripped off movies like Hocus Pocus, Poltergeist, and Men In Black. And the CG was really bad.
4/10 for me because Hilary tried, and it was a lot better than A Spirited Beginning.
