“A jubilant celebration”
Hollywood Reporter / David Rooney
Debuts on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD Arrive on November 19th
Did you have a favorite movie as a kid? For me it was Beetlejuice. I ended up having to buy a handful of VHS copies as I played them so many times I wore the tapes out. I loved Winona Ryder and thought she was amazing in the role as Lydia Deetz, and started watching all the movies she was in thanks to this movie. Flash forward to 2024, and like so many Beetlejuice fans, I was so excited when I saw the sequel in theaters. And, just like my youth, I couldn't get enough of it, and ended up seeing it two more times before it left theaters. :-) I know I have said in the past that I am not a fan of sequels, but this one was really good. I think it was because they brought back many of the original cast including Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara. As I watched the movie for the first time it felt like I was experiencing a family reunion of sorts.
This movie will have you laughing out loud from start to finish, and has such a fun story line, you never feel like the movie is dragging alone or falling flat. I have been counting down the days for the release of this movie to DVD and Blu-ray just for the bonus content -- and Warner Bros. Pictures didn't disappoint. Fromm the behind the scenes and making of the movie featurettes to commentary from director Tim Burton and so much more, you definitely need to pick up this release when it arrives tomorrow on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD, to enjoy after watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with your family. We watched the movie this past weekend, and already have plans to watch it again as part of a double feature with the first movie, for our weekly family movie night this upcoming Friday.
If you missed this movie when it was in theaters and loved the first Beetlejuice movie, I highly recommend you pick up this new release to enjoy. You will not be disappointed! My family loved it just as much as the first one, and I know you and your family will, too.! :-)
