Critics Consensus

Brilliantly bizarre and overflowing with ideas, Beetlejuice offers some of Michael Keaton's most deliciously manic work - and creepy, funny fun for the whole family.

Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Pauline Kael New Yorker Though a lot of [Burton's] moves don’t connect, enough of them do to make this spotty, dissonant movie a comedy classic. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Steve Rose Guardian The story almost comes off the rails, but Beetlejuice's charm lies more in the execution. The movie is crammed with visual invention and snappy comedy. Rated: 5/5 Oct 25, 2018 Full Review Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Ansen Newsweek For sheer off-the-wall audacity, Tim Burton's demented Beetlejuice certainly demands respect, even if it's more enjoyable in concept than in execution. Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (4) David Pountain Vague Visages Indeed, in a film that so gleefully satirizes and undermines any attempts to impose order on existence, Betelgeuse can be regarded as a subversive savior. Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) Tim Burton's Beetlejuice is a farce that's blessedly lunatic. May 8, 2023 Full Review Beetlejuice | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Bill Chambers Film Freak Central Beetle Juice is founded on...absurd juxtapositions--none funnier, if you ask me, than when an undead football team calls the ancient, gravel-voiced Sylvia Sidney "coach." Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
