What’s a couple of stay-at-home ghosts to do when their beloved home is taken over by trendy yuppies? They call on Beetlejuice, the afterlife’s freelance bio-exorcist to scare off the family – and everyone gets more than she, he or it bargains for! Tim Burton guides this PG-rated comedy monsterpiece whose stars include Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder. And Michael Keaton is Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most who flings one-liners, spins into grotesque forms, gobbles insects, and who just can’t leave the ladies (living or dead) alone. Ghoul love it!Before making Batman, director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton teamed up for this popular black comedy about a young couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) whose premature death leads them to a series of wildly bizarre afterlife exploits. As ghosts in their own New England home, they’re faced with the challenge of scaring off the pretentious new owners (Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones), whose daughter (Winona Ryder) has an affinity for all things morbid. Keaton plays the mischievous Beetlejuice, a freelance “bio-exorcist” who’s got an evil agenda behind his plot to help the young undead newlyweds. The film is a perfect vehicle for Burton’s visual style and twisted imagination, with clever ideas and gags packed into every scene. Beetlejuice is also a showcase for Keaton, who tackles his title role with maniacal relish and a dark edge of menace. –Jeff Shannon

A haunting movie in which everything is played for laughs.
There are no serious moments, deep introspections, revelations, life reviews, insights into life’s purpose, etc. It is a non-stop gimmicks, special effects, sight gags, visual fluff suitable for the younger set.
The hero and heroine drown together in a car accident, discover they are dead and back in their dearly beloved house. They can’t leave because there are monsters outside. Their peace in interrupted by the new owners who decide to redo the place in a ridiculous gaudy style. They notice an unexpected book “The Handbook for the recently deceased.” on the nightstand which serves as their guide to their new situation. Through it they discover how to reach their “caseworker” and an obnoxious haunter named Beetlejuice
who might be able to help them remove the new occupants. Everything they try fails to work and in the end they accept the new owners. The owner’s daughter becomes closer to them than her step-parents providing the child they always wanted and couldn’t have. Other than the idea that they can not see themselves in a mirror and that the new owners cannot see them (except the daugthter), there is little we learn about the afterlife here. We see a couple brief scenes of the caseworker’s office which can only be described as depressing. Worst movie I have seen in a long time.

Embarrassing comedy that comes over like a child with ‘attention deficit disorder’ begging for your approval. Even the film’s own internal logic is thrown away towards the end to no extra purpose. The girl floating in the air at the end is rather sweet though.
