Juiceless.

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2002)

Terribly over-rated film that stars Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin as a recently deceased married couple who just cannot get new owners Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones out of their dream house. Thus they decide to contact supernatural nut-job Michael Keaton (in the titled role) to scare the new tenants out of their rightful home. Winona Ryder is almost unrecognizable as Jones' very dark and spooky daughter. Short roles by Sylvia Sydney, Dick Cavett and Robert Goulet do nothing to help out Tim Burton's weak direction and the even weaker screenplay. Not near as funny as it would like to be. Strangely a box office success and still a favorite with many movie-goers, but not with this one. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
