Save this guy for later....

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 1999)

For prime Time Burton at his best, check out "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". But for big laughs, "Beetlejuice" scares 'em up.
Yeah, I know; cute ghost joke.
Keaton is a wonder: strutting around, cracking wise, possessing here and there, cackling like a maniac. He's the whole show, by and large.
Yet, the others acquit themselves nicely. Jeffrey Jones, Alec Baldwin, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, Glenn Shadix, Geena Davis....
Geena Davis. Man, she's one cute little spirit, isn't she? Sighhhhh....
Ooh, forgive me. Where was I? Oh yes: "Beetlejuice". Great special effects, terrific Keaton, good early Tim Burton. And if you have a soft spot for Geena, you're golden.
Eight stars. Go ahead, make my millenium.
