Review of The Addams Family (1991) by Tommy H — 22 Apr 2015
Kind of a wasted opportunity. If someone wanted to see how the Addams family live they could just watch the show. The movie should have sent them on an adventure or something. Put them in new surroundings. A story about their wealth isn't very interesting. It needed more "creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky," and less "their house is a museum where people come to see 'em".
But it's still a pretty good movie. Just not very ambitious. The cast are perfect, especially Raul Julia and Christina Ricci. It's good for a few laughs and a bit of nostalgia for the old show. All the morbid humor is still there.
