Review of Addams Family Values (1993) by Filipeneto — 16 Feb 2020
After the success that was the first film, a sequel was expected, and it actually appeared two years later. "Addams Family Values", moreover, kept the cast and crew of the first film and manages to match perfectly with its predecessor, proving my theory that the sequels are generally good if they keep the cast, the director and the screenwriter of the initial film .
The central core of the cast is the same as the first film and manages to keep up with expectations. Raul Julia and Angelica Huston maintained the roles of Gomez and MortÃcia Addams, and I think that with these two films, the two actors reach the top of their artistic career and their notoriety. Christina Ricci also maintained the role of Wednesday and, as expected, saw the relevance of her character increased in this film, corresponding with a brilliant performance. Christopher Lloyd is also in great shape here, and plays brilliantly with the villain, Joan Cusack, in one of the most remarkable works of her career.
Good production values also deserve a brief comment. The Addams' house is wonderful in its unique way, the sets and costumes are excellent and totally go against what we could expect and the soundtrack is effective and competent.
