| The Juice is loose...all over the front of my pants. |
36 years later, everyone's favorite trickster demon is back! And this time, he's NOT going Hawaiian (?). One of the most anticipated releases of my inner child, it feels appropriate to nut this one after the franchise had been dormant for so long. The results are mixed, to be sure, but enough of it works if you hold your memories of the original in high regard. If nostalgia is more your speed, this will stoke your childhood delights. Keaton, as in the original, is the highlight and major draw here, but Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Monica Bellucci and Jenna Ortega all bring something to the table. Beetlejuice remains a lovable miscreant as ever, and best yet, it doesn't tarnish the legacy of the original. One only hopes it won't be so many years before the whole gang gets back together once again.
