a halloween movie made for mature audiences
Beetlejuice swears a lot. While first meeting two of his customers which are the main charecters he quickly touches the woman while her husbands not looking. She later calls him a p*rvert. The ghost-couple try to scare another couple by woo-ing and moaning, and the daughter thinks thier having you-know-what and tells them to keep it down. A woman smokes a ciggerate, and the smoke from it comes disgustingly out a slit in her throat

A favorite
One of my favorite movies I saw it one night on tv and i saw it on netflix it is a awsome movie I love Tim Burton . This movie is a little inappropreate for little kids. But kids ages 8+ will be able to watch it. If you don't mind creepy things you are good to go. Good for a Halloween movie marathon.

The most hilarious horror-comedy ever; perfect for Halloween. On the other hand, this is far too much for a PG rating, even for 1988, because younger kids won't understand the humor and will only be scared. An absolute must-see for audiences that can handle.
My rating: PG-13 for frequent black humor involving creepy images/frightening scenes, brief smoking and some language. [NOTE: This film, like a few other 80's films (i.e. Spaceballs, Big) pushes the PG to the extremes. It has one F bomb used, but unlike the two listed films, it has a creepy sensation that could give kids nightmares--I really thought they stopped giving creepy movies PG ratings in the late 1970's or the early 1980's.]

scary for younger kids
this movie is great. yes, there are some parts that will scare younger kids, such as a woman ripping off her face and her eyeballs popping out, and beetlejuice turning into a snake and throwing people around the room. yes it does say f***ing, which surprised me because it was a pg movie. if you dont want your child to hear that, cover their ears when beetlejuice kicks over a tree. overall a fun and entertaining movie.

BeetleJuice is a fun film it is extremley fun and a large laugh hhowever the f word is usually expected in a 15 so atleast people know what to expect before they watch it also the scene where barbera rips her own face off made me jump when i watched it for the first time but it was just unexpected.furthermore i reccomend this and i think everyone who has children 12 and above should watch it

From PG to PG-13
The sexual content and the language is unacceptable for a PG movie.Wait until your kids are going into Middle School before they can watch it.

Incredibly imaginative, but dark and crude
Beetlejuice is classic Tim Burton: ingenious production design, incredibly imaginative, original and darkly hilarious. While Beetlejuice is a little easier to take in for younger audiences than Edward Scissorhands or Sleepy Hollow, it still shouldn't have been rated PG, and when I think of it, the PG-13 rating was around back than so that is a bit baffling. What makes it a strong PG rating is mainly the extremely dark story and the humor, which ranges from black to crude to sexual in a blink of an eye. The biggest reason of why it should have been rated PG-13 though, is the F-word which should have ensured the rating. Still, it's a great movie that most teens with a dark sense of humor should love.

Very Creepy Humor. This is My Kind of Movie.
Some people may find this movie disturbing. I think it's a good mix of funny and creepy. I first watched it when I was ten and really liked it. My favorite part is the afterlife waiting room. I like that everybody in the room looks the way they did when they died, especially the guy run over by a truck. It's one of those movies where you either love it or hate it, and I'm leaning towards the love side. Give it a try, maybe you'll love it, too.

Very iffy for tweens.
I didn't like Beetlejuice. It was honestly a bit disturbing to me. When the f-word was dropped, I was shocked. Not that I haven't heard it before, but I definitely haven't in a PG movie! When I was watching this, I didn't know the rating at the time and thought it to be rated R. This is not appropriate for children at all. Teenagers might enjoy it if they're kind of into dark, creepy things, but don't let your kids under thirteen watch it!

Older kids
There is mild sexy stuff. Mild Language. Mild Violence (people get killed in a car accident) But nothing graphic. Fine for older kids

Hillarious Haunted Comedy
Tim Burton's Creepy Comedy delievers more laughs than screams, but a snake verision of Beetlejuice may frighten young children. However almost nothing in the film can be taken too seriously. Beetlejuice briefly says the F- Word "Nice F Model"

I disagree with willbarchi (can i do that?)
I think that this movie is fine for 9+. He swears once, and ForJouno's slit is intentionally comical. This movieis about dead people, so they obviously had to show some people that are dead, and Tim Burton is just a creative guy. I love this movie, and i really think it is a family film.
