00:00It's officially spooky season and there's a new Beetlejuice out in theaters, but did
00:03you know that the original Beetlejuice really confused movie critics?
00:07Specifically, the movie critics, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert.
00:10In fact, they thought Beetlejuice was the worst part of Beetlejuice.
00:14In his review, Siskel said,
00:16I really felt the Michael Keaton character detracted from a rather nice couple played
00:20by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin.
00:22A little of this guy goes a long, long way and the back half of this movie is absolutely
00:27stuffed with his antics.
00:29It's just too much of a not very good thing.
00:31Ebert was straight and to the point.
00:32Beetlejuice is absolutely, I mean, you use the word obnoxious, that's what it is.
00:38It's not funny, it's just there's that guy again, let's get rid of him.
00:41Yeah guys, Beetlejuice is kind of an important part of the movie.
00:44Beetlejuice.
00:45Seeing the duo trash what is now an undisputed classic is interesting in itself, but their
00:49utter confusion over it, plus them lamenting that it isn't a movie about a nice couple
00:53renovating their home, is incredibly funny all by itself too.
