Thanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are killed in a freak auto accident. Upon arriving in the outer offices of Heaven, the couple finds that, thanks to a century's worth of bureaucratic red tape, they're on a long celestial waiting list. Before they can earn their wings, Davis and Baldwin must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers, Davis and Baldwin do their best to scare O'Hara and Jones away, but their house-haunting skills are pathetic at best. In desperation, the ghostly couple engage the services of a veteran scaremeister: a yellow-haired, snaggle-toothed, profane, flatulent "gonzo" spirit named Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton). The problem: Beetlejuice cannot be trusted-especially when he falls in love with O'Hara and Jones' gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter Winona Ryder. Beetlejuice producer David Geffen, director Tim Burton, and composer Danny Elfman were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Beetlejuice is a bit of a dark comedy mixed with colorful light humor and some minor adult content. It pokes fun at the directors who take the Afterlife so seriously and toys with the notion that death is really just another part of life. It's a lot of fun and should be considered one of Tim Burton's best.

Love this money but I forgot it had cursing when I was a child I guess I didn't pay attention to that! BAD LAUNGUAGE FOR KIDS! I rented this for my kids and I was suprised by all the cursing! Beyond that it is a classic! It is funny!

Love the movie and rented it without a thought to watch with my daughter due to the PG rating. Was shocked to hear the "F" word used, just once, by Beetlejuice. Just be warned there are a few spots for language you may not expect from a "PG" rating.

This film offers wicked gallows humor. I also gives kids the gross out factor they so often look out for in movies while not actually being gory.

    Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... gotcha! This is where I fell in love with Winona Ryder. A funny film. All the pros gave great comedic performances. Newbies Davis and Baldwin didn't drop the ball either. The special effects look corny but they work almost seemlessly with the characters. Keaton was the original "Joker" here.
