Tim Burton's Best Piece Of Work

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2002)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Beetlejuice is Tim Burton's finest piece of work. This is a film that can be enjoyed time and time again. The cast are great and the gags are great too. And who can forget Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice? Michael is a great actor equally adept at playing serious or comedy roles. I believe this is one of his best roles.
Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis play Adam and Barbara, a couple who die in an accident but return to their home as ghosts. However, a bunch of people move into their house and lets just say they're not the type of people I'd want to live with. Soon, Adam and Barbara end up recruiting Beetlejuice to get rid of the owners. But soon after, Adam and Barbara realise that Beetlejuice is more trouble than he's worth and that's when the fun starts.
I don't want to give too much away about the humour in this film but it was hilarious. Michael Keaton always seems to enjoy himself in his movies and he was enjoying himself here. Beetlejuice is the funniest looking creature I've ever seen in a film. Adam Baldwin and Geena Davis do a brilliant job as do the beautiful Winona Ryder and Catherine O' Hara along with Glen Shadix.
Beetlejuice is one of the best comedy films of the 80's and the final scene is just priceless. Check it out.
