If you're hoping for the same feel as a true sequel to the original, this isn't it. It leaned heavily into campiness. The first short song was amusing, but the rest became annoying. The Soul Train segment and the cake song were over the top. The cake song dragged on long enough that I could have refilled my popcorn or gone to the bathroom. Winona Ryder seemed stiff, and her movements looked uncomfortable. Watching her run was hard to bear. I wish she had relaxed into her role more and let the adult Lydia shine instead of whatever that was. Michael Keaton embraced the new Beetlejuice's campy vibe quite well. Jenna Ortega, Catherine O'Hara, and Willem Dafoe stayed true to their characters and performed excellently and not over the top. I never expected Tim Burton to go this campy route, but here we are. Despite everything, I still found enjoyment in the movie, especially with our secret cameo janitor and beloved Bob.

I missed it, when did they fall in love? The film script was lacking depth and flow. When there was potential for depth it fell flat. Additionally, it was like I was watching 2 different characters with Cassie. One second she has opinions and a stance, blink, and she is the stereotypical love struck girl. I kept feeling like I missed something. I could not understand most of Sofia's lyrics. Girl needs to enunciate. ***Lastly, as a type 1 diabetic, I appreciate the representation of our issues receiving affordable insulin and medical supplies. However, for the people who do not know, if you are out of insulin, call your insurance provider and they will do an acceptation and fill it early. Then call your endocrinologist and have them put in a new prescription for a higher dosage of insulin. Worst case, go to the Walmart Pharmacy, they have an over the counter short acting insulin option. It is not as effective but its better than dying.***
