I actually think it's going to be a good movie. Paul Feig knows what he's doing. Most of the "put women in stuff" thing results in trying to hard, which leads to shitty characters and shoehorned "empowerment". In other words, cringe-worthy feminist pandering. But Paul Feig has done work on Freaks & Geeks, Bridesmaids, The Office and Arrested Development so I don't expect it to be a throwaway movie that's only appeal is that it stars women.
Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing them spin the threadbare trope of white-male-for-unexplained-reasons-doesn't-want-women-doing-some-sort-of-job into the profession of busting ghosts; kind of a niche job market to begin with,no? It will probably be great.

Yeah, I'm just posting something goofy I thought of. I did enjoy Bridesmaids, so I'd expect this to be just as enjoyable.
