| GuardianSteve RoseThe story almost comes off the rails, but Beetlejuice’s charm lies more in the execution. The movie is crammed with visual invention and snappy comedy. The afterlife is richly imagined as a macabre bureaucracy. The living world is no less outlandish, especially with those eye-popping interiors and costumes. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenFor sheer off-the-wall audacity, Tim Burton's demented Beetlejuice certainly demands respect, even if it's more enjoyable in concept than in execution. |
| VarietyVariety StaffLuckily, Keaton pops up from his grave to liven things up when the antics pitting the good ghosts against the intruders become a trite cat & mouse game. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonTim Burton's imagination jumped into the saddle and held onto the bridle with Beetlejuice. |
| We Live EntertainmentScott MenzelBeetlejuice is so memorable and iconic because Burton took chances and dared to be different. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNot since "Ghostbusters" have the spirits been so uplifting. [30 Mar 1988] |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOne of [Burton's] flat-out funniest films, with Michael Keaton giving a performance for the ages. |
| TimeRichard CorlissBeetlejuice springs to life when the raucous and repulsive Betelgeuse (Keaton) rises from his moribund state to wreak havoc on fellow spooks and mortal enemies. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyNot since Ghostbusters have the spirits been so uplifting. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonLeave it to Tim Burton, with his affinity for the misunderstood monster, to be as sweet as he is funny, and not terribly scary, though that's part of his point... |
