Plot Story : Thanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are killed in a freak auto accident. Upon arriving in the outer offices of Heaven, the couple finds that, thanks to a century's worth of bureaucratic red tape, they're on a long celestial waiting list. Before they can earn their wings, Davis and Baldwin must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers, Davis and Baldwin do their best to scare O'Hara and Jones away, but their house-haunting skills are pathetic at best. In desperation, the ghostly couple engage the services of a veteran scaremeister: a yellow-haired, snaggle-toothed, profane, flatulent "gonzo" spirit named Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton). The problem: Beetlejuice cannot be trusted-especially when he falls in love with O'Hara and Jones' gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter Winona Ryder. Beetlejuice producer David Geffen, director Tim Burton, and composer Danny Elfman were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Review For Movie Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice means something good: that imaginative artists can bring a fading genre back from the dead.Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine
Luckily, Keaton pops up from his grave to liven things up when the antics pitting the good ghosts against the intruders become a trite cat & mouse game.
Variety Staff-Variety
Some of the most surprisingly enjoyable viewing in years.
-Time Out
An appealing mess.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader
[The] actors, not surprisingly, are limited by the stupidity of their material.
Janet Maslin-New York Times
Not since Ghostbusters have the spirits been so uplifting.
Rita Kempley-Washington Post
Early Tim Burton is creepy, dark fun for tweens and teens.
Scott G. Mignola-Common Sense Media
With its sophisticated yet accessible blend of comedy and the macabre, I knew Beetlejuice was likely to be one of those films I would never tire of. But a classic? It's been 20 years. I'm willing to throw that blue ribbon on it.
Ryan Cracknell-Movie Views
Quite possibly the most bizarre and flat-out surreal effort of Tim Burton's career...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Tim Burton's imagination jumped into the saddle and held onto the bridle with Beetlejuice.
Eric Henderson-Slant Magazine
...weird and unorthadox and innovative and clever, but the main thing is that it's funny.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
The character of Beetlejuice is hazy because the writers can never decide if he's a villain or an anti-hero...
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
One of [Burton's] flat-out funniest films, with Michael Keaton giving a performance for the ages.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A surreal, demented delight.
-TV Guide's Movie Guide
A minor classic.
-Film4
Darkly humorous and visually inventive, Burton's second film, which deservedly won the Makeup Oscar, fulfilled the promise he showed in his debut, launching a brilliant career with Batman and other original movies, many of which starring Johnny Depp.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Very clever black comedy full of great characters and situations.
Steve Crum-Video-Reviewmaster.com
a vehicle perfectly tailored for Burton's peculiar eye
Keith Breese-Filmcritic.com
funny and completely twisted
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
The Movie with it all!
Clint Morris-Moviehole
Leave it to Tim Burton, with his affinity for the misunderstood monster, to be as sweet as he is funny, and not terribly scary, though that's part of his point...
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
Brilliant dark comedy
