The movie was good, it should have been great.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
1) A lot of really good gags and callbacks to the original movie, but it was very much a play it safe movie trying to do a "next generation" spin. It will likely impress those who watched it as an original movie 35 years ago. Those who saw the original on TV and were raised on CGI movies will find this movie silly, slow and uninteresting...............
2) mixed bag on the acting, Jenna Ortega the Lydia daughter was great as was the intro of "Delores" the villain (monica bellucci) & "Bob" the shrunken head guy stole every scene he was in. Honorable mention to danny devito as the janitor who enabled "Delores" The other actors all "mailed it in" with sub par performances. (Including an elderly michael keaton)
3) A lot of rehashing of tired gags from movie #1, which you should re watch before going to this one. The best subtle gag was the "delores finger" during her introduction scene. Dealing with the "jeffrey jones" (imprisoned hollywood pedophile) issue was imaginatively and effectively dealt with.
4) Plot line and conceptual was good, but the movie makes you feel like you just finished sub par chinese food... ya hungry for something more substantive shortly thereafter. beetlejuice.... beetlejuice....beetlejuice....

I've always been a fan of Emmy Rossum, from her star-making performance in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and acclaimed work for director Clint Eastwood in MYSTIC RIVER and on to her roles as producer and star of the American version of SHAMELESS, I've been a big fan.

All the actors were excellent. The storyline was quirky just like beetlejuice # 1 was. Its not a complicated movie, but it was well made and had me laughing out loud alot.

No originality. Poor remake of a good movie. Many similarities and not enough new for the technology today. Maybe I am too old and don’t understand modern humor. Has several dead spots that I almost fell asleep.
