Though it stars iconic actors Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder, the fatally unfunny Beetlejuice sequel currently haunting theaters... sadly lives up to the old sequels suck trope.
This Beetlejuice lacks the laughs and scares of the original... but while the sequel is shot through with vintage Tim Burton tableaus, the wonderfully creepy-meets-campy vibe that animated Edward Scissorhands... is sadly absent here.
Most of this film moves like molasses, too slow and too sweet... but all of the female characters are underwritten and none of them are memorable.
Burton does take some nice jabs at the now... but he forgets to take pleasure in his own quirky brand of genius, the gleeful blend of comedy and horror.
