Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

After languishing in development hell for three decades, a sequel to 1988’s Beetlejuice finally makes it to theaters (sadly without any references to the previous failed sequel plans such as Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian). Bringing back some of the original cast (with notable exceptions of Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) while mixing in a few new faces such as Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and Justin Theroux, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice captures the same zany energy of the first film if not quite the same magic. Lacking the boldness of Beetlejuice, the sequel feels very much the compromise of a movie just happy to have finally gotten made.

Beetlejuice

Despite snagging the title, it’s important to remember that Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) wasn’t the main character of the 1988 comedy (in fact he appeared on-screen for less than 20 minutes of the film). Instead, the main characters are the recently deceased Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) struggling with life after death while haunting their country home which is being invaded by a New York real estate developer (Jeffrey Jones) and his odd family (Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder).
