"Hell," and "damnit," can be heard a few times. Two uses of "fuck", one isn't clearly heard like the other, and two of "shit". "Goddamn" is said at the very beginning of the film.
“Beetlejuice” revels in being unabashedly juvenile in almost every way, its humor mined from the same sophomore vein that made “The Book of Mormon” a monster hit. The movie carried a gentle PG rating; the f-bombs and sex jokes on stage would earn this a hard PG-13.
Angry, she storms out onto the roof, where she meets Beetlejuice, a demon who dreams about getting rid of the curse that makes him invisible to the living world. Beetlejuice realizes that the girl can see him and is a perfect candidate for breaking the curse.

Why can't Beetlejuice say his name thrice? It wasn't clearly stated, but what's clear is that someone else has to summon him before he can appear. Beetlejuice has a variety of supernatural powers but can't do it without you saying his name.
It is definitely NOT kid friendly. With all the bad language and reference to the use of cocaine and adult humor I felt very uncomfortable being there with my child. And all the liberal gay jokes were just uncalled for.
A couple dies in a car crash, a teenager writes a suicide note but never does it, and if they step out of the house they get attacked by a giant sandworm. Beetlejuice turns into a giant snake, quite scary for youngsters.
Rather, it's shocking that the 1988 movie was able to obtain a PG rating from the MPAA. Not only is the Tim Burton film thematically dark, riddled with suggestive humor and sexual content, and features fantasy violence, but the horror-comedy also features a notable F-bomb by Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice.
After summoning being summoned from his grave, Betelgeuse is ghosted by the couple who sought his help. Trapped inside a diorama model, Betelgeuse lets off some steam, kicking over a tree before calling out, "Nice f***in' model!"
Probably not. The official edict from the MPAA's (Motion Picture Association of America) Classification and Ratings Administration's guidelines lays out that, “A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating.

Miss Argentina (aka The Receptionist, and Miss Receptionist) appears at the window in the Neitherworld Waiting Room. As she's shown in the live-action film, it appears that she committed suicide by cutting her wrists.
We know that Beetlejuice used to work as the assistant to the caseworker Juno, which means he killed himself, since all undead civil servants committed suicide. Beetlejuice was Bozman, and he killed himself after his building was completed in 1835.
He was born on June 2, 1968, in New Jersey to Christopher Palid and Lillie Green and is the second youngest of six children. He was diagnosed with dwarfism and microcephaly as a child, a condition characterized by short stature, skeletal abnormalities, and an unusually small head, as well as an intellectual disability.
Feeling alone and betrayed again, Beetlejuice talks with his clones about how he wants to leave the house to finally connect with people now that he can be seen. To achieve this, he decides to trick Lydia into marrying him, which will allow him to roam free in the living world ("That Beautiful Sound" (reprise)).

After being hit on the head by a falling satellite, Beetlejuice has (naturally!) somehow lost his memory, so he, Lydia and a Neitherworld psychiatrist must travel into Beetlejuice's body to ...
Parents on Common Sense Media reported on the cursing throughout Beetlejuice, which includes two F-bombs. Another strong point of caution for parents on Common Sense Media are the sexual references made.

If Lydia says his name three times, he'll be released and will wreak havoc on the house, guaranteed to scare Charles off. The Maitlands try to keep her from him, but Lydia is too intrigued. Distraught and about to do something drastic, Lydia summons Beetlejuice and all hell breaks loose—literally.
