Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Beetlejuice is a quirky offbeat dark comedy from the late 1980s starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davies play a recently deceased married couple who are living in their beautiful home as afterlives. They collaborate with a crazy ghoul named Beetlejuice to drive away any other people who come to stay there. The casting is really good and Michael Keaton was at the top at this time. Production design, as usual is the case for a Burton film is really good and darkness and morbid overtones are seeping through the frames. Tim Burton is not everyone's cup of tea and even his most accessible films aren't universally adored. So watch Beetlejuice with these things in mind.

This is a great fantasy movie. It has great acting. It also has a great story line. It is a very scary movie. See it. If you like ghost stories you will like this movie. See it. It is one of the scariest movies of all time.

A thanks to all involved in this movie - its awesome in my opinion overall. Tim Burton I do believe in you - and Winona Ryder: Your spectacular and happy birthday from me to you!! --,-SYou could come and shoot a screenplay in Sweden sometime :). There are some Gothic buildings and various things from history lingering on and so on. Working with you people would be a ultimate dream AND vision come true I do declare.

Barbara, you don't know what's out there! We did find out though in this fantastic comedy. There is a great story, lots of effects but these effects are really dated now. I don't watch it for the effects, I love the character of Betelgeuse and the other characters are so well defined that you either love or hate them just the way you should in a film. It is dark and funny. It is not normal and that is why it is so good.
