Beetlegeuse! Beetlegeuse! Beetlegeuse! Insanely funny!

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2005)

I was reading some of the posts here and had to post my own. Some people tend to over analyze, like the poster from England who left an unbelievably lengthy analysis of the film (so long, I fell asleep!).
Lighten up folks! It's a comedy - a dark, satirical, FICTIONAL comedy. Forget the facts and reality! They don't apply here - particularly when Tim Burton is directing! And for those of you who have already seen it, let's face it, it's hysterically funny! I have seen this film so many times, I've lost count and "it keeps getting' funnier every single time I see it!" It really does. Michael Keaton is a hoot in the title role and absolutely steals this film!
If you enjoy Tim Burton films, you will recognize his style. Angled camera work and sets with obtuse, geometric shapes, not to mention the dark, murky mood with something bright and colorful hidden beneath it all. If you're into Tim Burton and basically any kind of satirical humor, you will love Beetlejuice. If you're a nun, you'll probably need to recite a few Hail Mary's after seeing this! Either way, it's worth the viewing for all the laughs it brings!
