Staff Writer Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was directed by Tim Burton and released on September 6, 2024. The cast consists of Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), Winona Rider (Lydia), Jenna Ortega (Astrid), Monica Bellucci (Delores), Arthur Conti (Jeremy), and Catherine O'Hara (Delia). (Spoilers ahead - readers beware.) Beetlejuice Beetlejuice starts off with Lydia hosting a Reality TV show about ghosts. During the show, Lydia sees Beetlejuice out in the audience. After seeing him, Lydia darts off to the bathroom with her boyfriend following her. Throughout the movie, she sees Beetlejuice all around town. Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, does not believe in the supernatural or that her mom can actually see ghosts. It later comes to light that why she does not believe it is because Lydia cannot see Richrad, Astrid’s dad, who passed away years ago. Shortly thereafter, Lydia finds out that her own father has recently passed. Later in the movie, Lydia and the family attend her father's funeral, where her boyfriend decides to propose to her. During this time, Astrid takes her bike and runs off. While on her bike, she nearly gets hit by a car after driving through a fence to avoid the crash she crashes into a tree. During this time with Beetlejuice, we find out that he has an ex-wife named Delores, who is after his soul. When they first got married they ended up killing each other. Delores killed Bettlejuice with poison and he killed her with an ax. The wild thing about this is that Beetlejuice is dead, and his ex-wife, who is dead, wants him dead. Obviously, he pretends to not know who she is when he first hears that she is after him. Beetlejuice will do anything to stay away from Delores, especially if it brings him closer to the woman he loves, Lydia. Beetlejuice has been obsessively in love with her since she was 16. In all of this time, he has wanted to marry her and has now had an opportunity to do so. This opportunity comes when Astrid makes a deal with a ghost named Jeremy, whom she met when she crashed into the tree. Astrid thought that she was making a deal to keep him in the mortal realm with her, but that is not what happened. What went down is that this deal was for Astrid and Jeremy to swap places, and essentially she is now dead. The only way to bring her back is for Lydia to sign a contract with Beetlejuice stating that if he helps her, she will marry him. Will Lydia save her daughter? Will she have to marry Beetlejuice? Watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to find out. One of the things that I enjoyed about this movie is that the actors who played Beetlejuice, Lydia, and Lydia’s mom are the same people who played them from the 1988 Beetlejuice. Another part of the movie that I really liked was when Astrid realized that Jeremy was a ghost. This was an enjoyable movie to watch with a couple of friends or some of your family. With Beetlejuice Beetlejuice being a comedy, there are many times that you will be laughing at the characters when they make a stupid decision.
