Beetlejuice Beetlejuice REVIEW - NO SPOILERS

I was off for the holiday weekend here in the United States - Movie Math returns this coming Sunday

[@TheDeckOfficer]

Love your Movie Math. You are the best.

[@UndisputedChampOfNothing]

Beetlejuice was never a family film, idk what on earth indicated that? He’s pervy and cursing throughout the first film. Beetlejuice is not a character to admire, he’s a villain.

[@BarkyFoxtrot]

I think a lot of people seem to forget just how adult the first film was. It’s not really a movie for children, yet everyone talks about it like it is. The idea that this movie is still fairly adult makes sense when you actively pay attention to the original.

[@thephilosopher5799]

The first movie is a family film, it wasn’t too explicit or deep that kids couldn’t watch it and so kiddish and corny that adults wouldn’t be annoyed by it.

[@joecamps1119]

If the first movie is from Lydia’s perspective it made sense that her stepmom would be a caricature but in middle age she has learned to relate to Delia as a woman and especially as a mother with a less than cooperative child. I am so excited to see this shit.

I think it’s a love hate relationship. There are a lot of movies that I love that I also have much hate for at the same time. It’s just certain things that we don’t like and other things we adore so much that we can’t help but love it and hate it at the same time.

Since when was Beetlejuice a "mainstream family film"?!

[@Mntguy-nr9vl]

It was advertised to kids because I remember when it came out it was not Friday the 13th or the Halloween franchise. If you're going to run your mouth know what you're talking about.

[@coreynmarie]

tim burton had always been mainstream prior to popular belief.

[@metsdolphins82]

Since basic cable channels like ABC family, freeform and others started running it along side Hocus Pocus at Halloween time.

[@dante6985]

It always was. $15 million budget($50 million today), $75 million box office gross, airs on family types of channels prime time. Family spooky comedic ghost story. Eraserhead: that is more surrealist body horror.

[@GeekLegionofDoom]

It was totally a mainstream film. For those who thought they were somewhat edgy maybe.

[@shattablaze3369]

Well Grace sometimes people just wanna have fun with movies and you don’t always have to take the topic of certain issues to be addressed like for Christ sake it’s a Beetle juice movie.

[@waltlock8805]

Sounds like a great movie. Not all questions need to be answered in a movie - there's that fine line where it becomes "preachy". Also, I wouldn't worry too much about how the mythical "modern audience" will respond to the jokes and humor. Most real people still know how to laugh.

[@EchanteDante]

[@thunderverna]

Yeah I could never get into the cartoon, I was too attached to the film version. Winona Ryder sometimes just gets the absolute PERFECT role and this was one of them❤

Is… the Asian dry cleaner a stereotype? Cause last time I checked, there’s lots and lots of Asian ran or owned dry cleaners and that’s okay. I don’t think we should be alarmed at that. Like, it is a thing.

[@Pupeyes]

@@keithmichael112 you’re almost there. Let’s call it, a detail.

[@HollywoodERock]

When Asians are only in Hollywood movies to serve a specific purpose like owning cleaners, knowing martial arts etc then yes it's considered a stereotype. A large number of Humans are unable to think outside of the images that are fed to them so when certain groups image is marginalize in movies constantly it has real world consequences unfortunately. The movie is good despite the minor criticism though.

[@ikexbankai]

I do not think it’s stereotypical because the owner is Asian it’s because of how the character acted. That’s was the stereotypical part. U been to dry cleaners was the owner is Asian and is very nice. The mean Asian store owner is stereotypical

@@jkb_games_music Just because a film uses mature subject matters for laughs, doesn't make it a family film, like you claimed it to be. The first Beetlejuice was definitely not made with the primary target group of children in mind. The animated nature of Corpse Bride makes the very dark themes of the film more digestable for younger folks, since it abstracts a lot of the graphic imagery as well. Beetlejuice is that kind of movie that really benefitted from a skewed rating system from the MPAA. Like when Drag me to Hell somehow got a pg-13 rating as well.

[@ricanman85]

[@treyous3395]

I find it interesting that you mentioned the new Beetlejuice movie. Seems to draw inspiration from gritty, adult-oriented 70s horror films. Who is this movie really for? I get the sense you believe it's aimed at kids. I would argue the core audience is actually the fans of the original 1988 film. Most of whom are now adults, many with kids of their own. Sure, the studio likely wants to attract new viewers. The heart of their fan base is still those who fell in love with the original, and they should be the priority. Also, it's fascinating how critics seem to believe that every film today needs to tackle real-world issues or push a particular narrative. Why can't we "just" enjoy a well-crafted, entertaining story without being preached to? For lots of us, movies are a chance to escape the challenges of the "real" world, even if only for a couple of hours. Not every film needs to carry a message; sometimes, pure entertainment is more than enough.

[@DisneyFan16672]

That’s interesting. I always assumed Lydia’s birth mom died, hence her fascination with the macabre or as she calls it “strange and unusual”. It even makes more sense why she wants to go to the afterlife so bad…seems like a missed opportunity to me. Still looking forward to the movie as I’ve got an early fan screening tomorrow! 😊

[@alejandromolinac]

Gee…. Life happens and you are no longer the “enlightened teenager” 30 years later?

[@JoybuzzerX]

I got the impression from the first movie, Lydia's real mom was completely out of the picture. Possibly abandoning the family. Which would lead Lydia's step-mom becoming more of a mom, even if the two ghosts would also be like parents to her (though I'm not sure if they mention them missing in this movie *not done with video as I type this*) That said, I don't care about the actor, the idea of ignoring the father is a terrible idea. You don't ignore the character because of an actor. You going to ignore The Flash character now because of Ezra? I have to agree with the idea of ghosts not aging, but I feel fans would whine if they had recast them with age appropriate actors for those roles.

[@garikaimadzikanda5951]

Catherine O’Hara is on fire, I thought she was good in the original but she was on Michael Keaton’s level with how game she was to return. I love how they grew the Deetz relationship and Lydia and Delia’s relationship and relating it with Astrid was really rewarding. Also Keaton is barely a little more in this movie than in the first, but he’s just as good as in the original and some scenes even better because of the PG-13 versus the original’s somehow PG rating.

This reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show. It too is macabre with a main character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, that has all the red flags for toxic relationships. That's interesting. But Rocky Horror is very much an R rated movie and not a franchise that could have a family audience. I like that the movie goes places Hollywood normally wouldn't. But I understand from a business perspective that this could hurt box office. Though I wonder if fans of macabre media will find those things troubling. I may actually go see this in theaters if I'm free on Friday. I know some elements struck a nerve for Grace, but honestly this review peaked my interest and now I gotta go see what's in this movie!

JENNA AND WINONA WERE GREAT IN THE MOVIE!

I suppose the first film dealt with the topic of suicide in a pretty cavalier way that wasn’t always terribly self aware, so having that energy on another topic is at least on brand. And I guess with Burton and his leading ladies, he’s technically done that four times considering Lisa Marie.

I was 16 when the 1st came out and The Exorcist is my favourite movie of all time. The joke is hilarious 🤣

I saw the movie yesterday with a friend (both women) and we both looked at eachother at the baby bit. It was a choice lol

5:14 Thanks for the warning. When the film doesn't do well, it'll be for this reason.

Horrible review! That’s not politically correct….thats also not politically correct! Not everything has to be politically correct. Thats what makes great comedy. We can laugh at ourselves for a few hours. Must be exhausting living life through the lens you are looking through! Two thumbs down for this review!
