How “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” used cringe and chaos to beat low expectations for sequels

Salon  

As far as unnecessary sequels go, Tim Burton's “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is standard fare in just about every respect. The belated follow-up to 1988's “Beetlejuice” owes much of its charm to its supporting cast, which is hands-down one of the most strikingly entertaining ensembles of the past decade. Catherine O'Hara as Delia, Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Winona Ryder as Lydia and Justin Theroux as Rory in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” Theroux's magnetism as Rory is much less of a given. He was the least exciting part of the film's marketing, so for him to come in and just eat everybody's lunch will no doubt help fuel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” discourse for the foreseeable future.

LA Times  

It’s hard to overstate the cultural impact of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice” in 1988 — in fact, it feels like the wild-haired “bio-exorcist” memorably embodied by Michael Keaton has simply always been around, especially for a subset of millennials who grew up with the zany horror comedy on repeat. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” returns where we started, in Winter River, Conn..
