Review of The Addams Family (2019) by Hannibalb — 01 Oct 2020
Hackneyed garbage with a few moments that were genuinely funny, surprising, cute. Mostly it was dragged down by recycled Borscht-Belt humor and the usual unbridled hatred of suburbs and normal people. The Addamses seem to become more Eastern European with each new incarnation, which is puzzling given Gomez's Hispanic name, looks, and voicing.
I gave this one a rating of two though because I was at least not bored and there were a few gags and moments that I enjoyed. Too bad so much of the writing it was stale and boring. The CGI was good though almost too realistic, I liked the art, except for some of the character designs.
The frustrating thing is that this one was almost good. If the writers had just come up with something more original for the central conflict and worked a little harder on the jokes, it might have been really good.
