Julie is a teenage girl who finds her passion for music and life with the help of a high -concept band of teen boys (The Phantoms) who have been dead for 25 years. Julie, in turn, helps them become the band they were never able to be.
Sure, their ghost adventures become very silly, very quickly. But who cares! Julie and the Phantoms is just fun and adorable enough for none of that to really matter.
Unfortunately, [its] glimpses of originality are the exception rather than the norm, since Phantoms is all too happy to trade in tediously familiar territory.
A ghost story that too often ignores the creative potential of its central specters, Netflix's Julie and the Phantoms is so committed to mimicking creator Kenny Ortega's past filmography that it never becomes its own thing.
