“Beetlejuice” (1988), arguably the most iconic movie in director Tim Burton’s illustrious filmography, is a tough act to follow. Released on Sept. 6, after 36 years, the famed director took his shot with “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” Unlike Burton’s recent theatrical flops, this screwball, supernatural comedy might be a home run. Making it past the page, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is the product of Burton’s recent partnership with actress Jenna Ortega and writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar after their successful collaboration on the Netflix series “Wednesday” two years ago. 

Jenna Ortega and Maddie Ziegler both give captivating performances which make up the most influential portions of the film.
