After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Betelgeuse, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Astrid, accidentally opens the portal to the Afterlife.

Michael Keaton's devious poltergeist still has plenty of juice left in this madcap return to form for Tim Burton, marrying charming practical effects and ghoulish gags to provide a fun fun time.

A mostly fun sequel with consistently stellar performances, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is worthy of its stripes.

'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' is praised for its nostalgic elements, visual style, and Michael Keaton's performance. The gothic aesthetic, practical effects, and blend of horror and comedy are highlighted. However, criticisms include a convoluted plot, underdeveloped characters, and reliance on callbacks to the original film. Despite these issues, the film is seen as a fun, if uneven, addition to the franchise.
