'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice' is the long delayed and frankly unnecessary sequel to 1988's 'Beetlejuice'. We pick up with the Dietz family decades on, both returning characters and new additions, I found the family dynamics here my favorite part of the film. Of course Beetlejuice returns to complicate things, but he has to compete with a crowded field of arguably too many storylines, this movie is nearly 2 1/2 hours long. Despite being seemingly assembled from a grab bag of unfinished ideas, it's not just a rehash of the first film, avoids making big mistakes and has a good share of amusing moments. Not the disaster it might have been, 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice' is perfectly fine, which probably makes it seem better then it really is. For me it just eeks out a *** rating.
