Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

It’s hard to know how long you can wait before you make a sequel. Is 37 years too long? Apparently not if most of the cast, the director, and the composer are still around. Some of the attempts to involve the father without including the “cancelled” actor from the original are awkward. But otherwise, everybody looks like they’re having a blast. It loses a little steam in the middle, but the Jimmy Webb conclusion is so inspired and nutty, I was in awe. Kudos to all involved. A fun night at the movies.
